Depending on the requirements, the various tools, providers and services offer different advantages. However, for professional communication with clients and stakeholders, we recommend not using Deepl exclusively for translation without subsequent proofreading by a native speaker. Although one saves considerable costs in translation, this service does not yet reach the translation quality of professional translators.

As a result, in terms of usability, speed and quality, the lingoking translation app is probably the best solution at the moment for small to large translation jobs that do not have specific requirements in terms of niche or brand-specific terminology or technical terms. The personal exchange (offer, feedback, etc.) is omitted and is only carried out at the request of the customer.

The classic lingoking translation service is recommended if the time component is not the decisive criterion or if you are dependent on an offer for larger order volumes. Individual onboarding through our project management, interface optimisation, service and sustainable good cooperation are our focus here. Complemented by the Urgent Translation App — for one or more people in your department or company, this model is probably the best overall package we can currently offer you.

Depending on the product or translation service, different formats are available for translation. In principle, we can accept and convert all common file formats from you. This ranges from simple URL input for website translation, to uploading a photo for simple documents and contracts, to complex Excel spreadsheets and XML connections.

Basically, however, 3 essential format types can be distinguished:

1. Editable text and file formats: Classic text documents from the Adobe, Google and Microsoft Suite can be translated directly and without much effort. These include Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Indesign formats such as txt, doc, xlsx, pptx and indd.

2. Non-editable text and file formats Photos, films, PDFs are among the non-editable formats and entail an increased effort. Here you will receive the translation back in the desired form or as a simple Word/text document, which you can then embed independently in the original (film, document, website). These include pdf, jpg, png, mov and mp3 formats

3. CMS-based text formats In the field of e-commerce, the most practical option is to edit texts directly in the content management system (CMS) or to export them from it. With the help of our CAT tools, these can be edited quickly and easily and then imported by you into your CMS. These include CSV, PO, htm, Xliff, XML and YAML.

In order to provide you with the best possible quality, your translation will only be carried out by trained and native translators. Only our translators will have access to your personal documents. Discretion and security are very important to us, which is why the encryption and upload in the digital order process also follow the highest security levels.

Additional quality assurance is provided by the 4-eyes principle — as well as our certification according to the European quality standard DIN EN ISO 17100 for translation services. If you need to get it done quickly, we also offer an express service that allows you to meet even the tightest deadlines. Of course, we will treat your documents confidentially!
