Germany leads Europe in automotive, mechanical engineering, and industrial manufacturing, producing the world's most technically demanding translation requirements. Our German technical translators hold engineering or computer science degrees alongside linguistic qualifications, and our process is aligned with ISO 17100 for every project.
Translators with professional backgrounds in mechanical engineering, automotive, aerospace, IT, and industrial manufacturing.
Familiar with the precise terminology of German standards bodies and the documentation required for CE marking and DIN compliance.
Client-specific translation memories and glossaries reduce cost and ensure consistency across product lines and software releases.
Technical documents returned in their original format with German text properly integrated into diagrams, tables, and technical illustrations.

Yes. German technical translation is a core specialty. We build comprehensive glossaries for each client and enforce them consistently, handling compound nouns and field-specific terms with precision.
Yes. We localize UI strings, error messages, and embedded help text alongside printed or PDF documentation in a single coordinated project.
Yes. We accept TMX and TBX files from any CAT tool platform. Leveraging your existing assets keeps costs down and ensures consistency with previous releases.
We work in Trados Studio, memoQ, Phrase (formerly Memsource), and Smartcat as standard. Source formats handled directly include .docx, .indd/.idml, .xml, .xliff, .json, .resx, .properties, .po, FrameMaker .fm, and DITA or S1000D-tagged content. For German automotive and engineering clients using custom TM environments we can integrate via XLIFF, TMX, and TBX exchange to your existing infrastructure.
Yes. Every translator signs an NDA before receiving project files. For sensitive material such as patents under preparation, pre-release automotive specifications, and defense-adjacent documentation, we apply additional safeguards: project compartmentalisation, no machine translation engines, encrypted transfer only, and an audit trail of document access. Multi-year NDAs and your standard supplier code of conduct are accepted on request.
