Which German Fits Your Buyers?

German has only one written standard but three major markets. We decide on our market first, since the spelling, vocabulary, and even the Sie or casual du vary according to it.

Not sure? Begin with Standard German for any official papers and use Austrian or Swiss wording if needed for a particular campaign. We can figure this out in one quick call.

Variety What it is Best for
Standard German Hochdeutsch Read in Germany, understood anywhere that German is spoken. Engineering documents, contracts, medical texts, and Internet commerce sites
Austrian German Österreichisches Deutsch Read in Austria, using terms like “Jänner” and “Paradeiser.” Retail, tourism, and government content
Swiss Standard German Schweizer Hochdeutsch Read in German-speaking Switzerland, written with ss and no ß. Banking, pharma and papers for Swiss offices

Why German Need a Professional Translator?

German uses meanings through long noun compounds, genders, and cases, and forces writers to make decisions as to whether to use 'Sie' or 'du'. German language translations into English sound stiff or wrong. The German language is the official language in Germany, Austria, and Liechtenstein, and one of the official languages in Switzerland.

A cold email to a Munich customer, a sales letter to a Viennese client, and a product page for Zurich all have unique language needs, which is why our professional German translation services begin with your audience, not your document.

Every project follows five steps:

  1. 1
    Scope

    We agree on the market, tone and any glossary you already use.

  2. 2
    Match

    A native German linguist with experience in your field takes the file.

  3. 3
    Draft

    The linguist translates from your source text.

  4. 4
    Cross-check

    A second linguist reads for accuracy, terms and tone.

  5. 5
    Hand over

    Finished files come back in the layout you supplied.

We also convert dates, units and currencies, allowing rupee values to appear alongside euros or Swiss francs. The certified translation comes with a signed accuracy statement that many embassies and universities need. We offer one round of revision for any errors and we keep your files confidential.
