Profile

We are a qualified and experienced team of technical translators, specializing in information technology, in particular digital printing and reprographics technology. Within these fields we translate a wide variety of material, including software, online help, documentation and computer-based training courses.
Our technical know-how benefits our customers in many aspects of translation. When translating web sites for example, we take great care to maintain the html tags embedded in the translation files and edit them for localization purposes, if necessary.

Our services:

Translation from English into German
  • Software: general applications, user interfaces, controller software (e.g. print servers, print drivers), machine displays
  • Documentation: technical manuals, user and system administration guides, online help files, readme files
Linguistic consultancy and support
  • Linguistic testing of software (including functionality testing of localized features)
  • Linguistic direction for German recording sessions (i.e. for voice-overs for multimedia courses)
  • Advice on localization issues
  • Proof-reading

Why we have specialized

Apart from translating technical IT material we also translate press releases, marketing material and general texts. Our professional approach to translation demands that we leave texts which are outside our special fields, for example car repair manuals, to colleagues who are qualified for this kind of work.

This may seem surprising, considering that there are translators who translate all kinds of specialized texts, sometimes even into several languages.
We, by contrast, concentrate on our special fields only, having obtained a solid knowledge base over several years. We feel that focusing on our chosen field of work is the best way to provide a high-quality service to our customers. This is also the reason for only translating into our mother tongue, leaving translations into English to native speakers. We value not only our own reputation but also that of our customers and we strive to provide high-quality translations at all times. We know that our customer's corporate image depends not only on the technical quality of their products but also to a large extent on product look and feel.

If, like us, you regard quality as a key factor to your business, don't hesitate to get in touch.
