Got a question? We have the answer.

  • What do I need to bear in mind when it comes to flyer translations?

    Be concise and to the point. The translation must be worded in the same way as your flyers. To do this, you need professionals with a particular flair for marketing language. You then also need someone to check the layout in the target language.

  • What do I need to bear in mind when it comes to website translations?

    If you are able to export the content of your website (usually with a plugin that creates an XML file), it will save you a lot of work. For your website translations, we process this file directly, which saves you from having to copy everything out. Alternatively, we can input everything into the backend of the site.

  • How do you guarantee that our corporate language is used?

    We enter your existing terminology into our database and keep adding terms to it with each and every project. Our professional translators stick to these guidelines and we check that everything is as it should be in our quality assurance process too.

  • Why do only native speakers translate into their own language?

    Native speakers simply have the best feel for their language. Only a handful of people have native level command of a second language. What’s more, native speakers have an understanding of the local culture and customs – this is exactly what is needed for marketing texts and is the reason why native speakers translate exclusively into their own language.

  • How quickly will the text be translated?

    We will be happy to inform you of the delivery date once we have taken a look at the text. As a general rule, we assume five working days, but the turnaround time can vary depending on the length of the text, of course.
