English to German Translation Services

Although Germany itself is a small country in the scheme of things, German is actually the most spoken language in the European Union. It is an official language in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and Belgium. With 132 million people speaking German worldwide – 76 million of those claiming it as their mother tongue – investing in German translation to reach audiences in Europe and beyond is clearly a smart move. 

If you do choose to translate your content to German – especially business content or press articles meant for a German audience – it is crucial to use a native translator who understands the cultural nuances necessary for addressing the German market. German speakers – especially within the country – are often more serious, especially when compared to audiences in, say, the United States. While they by no means entirely lack a sense of humor – though this is often the stereotype – it is very important in German culture to avoid risking any offensive language, so this is especially important to take into consideration for creative content – such as marketing – for a German audience. This is why we work with professional, native German translators who understand this nuance and know how best to translate for an audience in Germany, or whichever German-speaking market you choose.
