What matters for your translation
For German texts, identify the audience and purpose: a business report, job application and letter to an authority need different terminology and an appropriate tone. Include existing templates or a glossary.
Choose the subject area for your text
The subject determines the terminology. Choose the topic that matches your files; existing glossaries and approved texts help maintain consistency.

Which language direction should I choose for German?
Select the language your source text is actually written in and the output language you need. Specify any regional or written variety and identify other-language sections in the files. We clarify other combinations and availability for the assignment.
What helps when preparing German texts?
For a report or application, identify the readers and specify which product and company names must stay unchanged.
How is the translation price calculated?
The language pair, source word count, subject and file format determine the calculation. Upload your files in the calculator and check the word count. The first estimate is free and does not place an order; you review the details before ordering.
How long does a translation take?
Timing depends on length, subject, language pair and the files provided. Tell us your preferred deadline with the enquiry. We confirm the feasible delivery date for the actual assignment; the instant price estimate is not a delivery promise.
Which files should I send?
An editable source is useful for texts, tables and digital content. Send complete, legible PDFs or scans with all relevant pages and marks. Specify the output format and identify reference files that should not be translated.
Do I need an ordinary or a certified translation?
For business copy, websites and specialist texts, ordinary translation is usually the relevant service. An authority, university or another recipient may require certification. Ask the recipient for its requirements and use our certified-translation service when needed.
