German Translation Â鶹APP
The Translation Company provides German translation services to manufacturers and engineering firms, legal teams, life-science organizations, and corporations doing business across German-speaking Europe. We have translated between English and German since 2005, in both directions, for clients that treat translation as a strategic function.
German rewards precision. It is the language of exacting technical documentation and equally exacting readers in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, each with its own conventions (including Swiss High German’s spelling differences) and a formal register that business documents are expected to hold. We staff native German linguists by country and subject matter, and we manage terminology so your German reads like it was written, not translated.
Why organizations choose us for German: a WBENC-certified women-owned company, operating to ISO 9001 and 17100 standards, corporate member of the American Translators Association, serving clients since 2005. If you have been comparing German translation companies, or even searching for a translation company in Germany, a US-based partner that delivers for both markets is often the practical answer.
Qualified buyers can to scope a German translation program before any commitment.
German Technical Translation
Technical work is the backbone of our German practice. User manuals, engineering specifications, machine documentation, safety data sheets, and supplier communications move between English and German through our technical translation team. Companies such as Trimble, Topcon, and Nissan have relied on our technical practice, where client-specific termbases keep every recurring term identical across releases, a requirement German engineering readers notice when it is missed.
German Legal Translation
Law firms and corporate legal departments send us German-to-English legal document translation for US litigation and transactions: contracts, corporate records, discovery materials, judgments, and regulatory correspondence. English-to-German work supports cross-border deals and compliance programs in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. We deliver court-ready translations with certification when the venue requires it, overseen under quality standards supervised by our owner, a licensed attorney in Texas and California. The full practice is described under our legal translation services.
German Translation by Industry
Medical and life sciences. Clinical documentation, regulatory submissions for German-speaking authorities, and patient materials run through our medical translation practice.
Business and finance. Financial statements, audits, investor communications, and HR materials for German-speaking staff are handled by our business translation practice, in the formal register German business documents expect.
Government and education. Agency work and academic content, from official documents to research communication, run under our government translation services and education translation services.
What We Translate Between English and German
Across these industries, the document types we handle most often include the following:
- User manuals, engineering drawings, and technical specifications
- Contracts, agreements, and corporate filings
- Litigation and discovery documents and judgments
- Regulatory submissions and clinical documentation
- Financial statements, audits, and investor materials
- Employee handbooks, policies, and HR communications
- Marketing content, packaging, and training materials
Certified German translations. When a US court, agency, or university requires certification, we provide certified German-to-English and English-to-German translations with a signed statement of accuracy; see our certified translation services for details.
German Interpreting
Interpreting is delivered in-house, not brokered. We provide German interpreters over the phone, by video, and on-site for depositions, negotiations, conferences, and audits, with our own simultaneous-interpreting equipment for events. See our interpretation services for formats and logistics.
German Localization
German expands text by up to a third, which breaks interfaces designed for English. Our localization services handle length, locale formats, and country targeting (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) across software, websites, apps, and e-learning.
Process, Quality, and the Human/MTPE Choice
Every German project runs through translation, editing, and proofreading (TEP) by separate linguists, with a project manager accountable for terminology, schedule, and query management, operating to ISO 9001 and 17100 standards. Where the content profile fits, we offer machine translation with professional post-editing (MTPE) for high-volume, lower-risk content, while contracts, filings, clinical content, and safety-critical documentation stays fully human. We put that recommendation in writing before work begins.
