Choose your service
German translation and interpretation.
Two dedicated service tracks — each with subject-matter linguists, a second-pair review and the compliance overlay that German filings and sessions require.
German Certified Translation
Most German translation we handle is technical — product manuals, patents, machine specifications, MDR / IVDR filings and supplier contracts — plus vital records and academic credentials for immigration.
German Professional Interpretation
German interpretation is mostly boardroom, M&A, patent litigation and technical audits. We cover both Swiss German (with an interpreter from Switzerland) and Austrian German as specialty dialect requests.

Linguistic considerations
Getting German right.
Small choices — dialect, script, register — change whether a German document is accepted or an interpretation session lands correctly.
Dialect & variety
Swiss German spoken dialects are mutually difficult for Standard German speakers; Swiss written German is Standard but uses ß-less orthography. Austrian German uses distinct administrative terminology.
