“Three things are crucial for a company’s success: courage, passion and the right people.”
Great brands need great texts.
Schmieder – more than a translation agency: the translation agency for marketing texts in the German-speaking world.

Schmieder – more than a translation agency: the translation agency for marketing texts in the German-speaking world.
The art of conveying internationality and identity to perfection.
We are the translation agency for your marketing texts. We are certified in accordance with the highest quality standards and our job is far from done when we reach the end of a text. We also translate the meaning between the lines and put brands in the right context in all languages and cultures. We use our experience, a feel for language and all the latest tools and resources to ensure that international corporate communication is made as easy and efficient as possible, both for you and for us.
300
Over 300 international brands have placed their trust in us.
80
We translate into more than 80 languages.
450
More than 450 translators.
30
In family hands for two generations and over 30 years.
We understand every language and everything else you need.
That is why in addition to translation, we will also take care of page layouts, final artwork and project management on request. We will maintain your company-specific glossary, keep an eye on deadlines, adapt our interfaces to your systems and coordinate projects with other agencies.
We are not satisfied with certified quality.
We regularly seek certification in accordance with the requirements of DIN EN ISO 17100, only to go on and exceed this standard afterwards. That is because we set the strictest evaluation criteria ourselves. From our base in Baden-Württemberg, this is how we guarantee professional marketing translations for every country in the world.
Dedicated project teams.
Language relies on the people who create it. We believe that long-term partnerships guarantee better results, which is why we are always here for you with a dedicated contact person for all languages and any issues. We work in partnership with all of our translators to ensure that the people who regularly work on your projects will be available for years to come.
Creativity and brand awareness.
Instead of translating texts word for word, we incorporate a deep understanding of your target groups and markets, and come up with some creative solutions in the process. We involve partner agencies in approval processes, find the perfect interface design and combine tried-and-tested services with innovative technical solutions.

Ahead of the times, both then and now.
One typewriter, a small room in a basement and a strong entrepreneurial spirit: the secretarial office created by Anne Schmieder on 1 October 1986 has since evolved into three successful service companies.

We employ over 100 members of staff in a variety of working time models and have over 400 freelancers on our books.
