B2B English-German and German-English Translation Services
Translation of Commercial Texts for All Occasions
I can offer you my expertise in translating business documents of any length, from 10 words to 100 000 words. I have translated commercial documents of a wide variety, including website contents, marketing materials for trade fairs and other purposes, manuals for staff training, market research reports, business correspondence, company brochures, legal papers, joint venture proposals, technical documents and product presentations - to name but a few.
Time is Money
Instant translations over the phone!
You have just received a letter, fax or email in German and want to know NOW what it says - not tomorrow, not next week. There is a web page that looks interesting, but you are not absolutely sure that it offers what you think it offers. There is an online form you don't quite understand. - I will, after quickly familiarising myself with the text by having it emailed, faxed or otherwise transmitted to me, give you an overview over its content instantly over the phone. You can decide whether you need a full written translation or whether this low cost option is sufficient for your needs. Why pay more than necessary?
Initial Customer Contact - Making the Connection
You have had an inquiry from a potential customer who is German speaking? You want to show that you value his custom? Let him know that you speak his language! Use his native language in the initial communication.
Customer Liaison and Trouble Shooting
There is a client on the phone who sounds unhappy, but he has difficulty expressing his query in English? Let me telephone him on your behalf and find out exactly what the problem is and, possibly, how it could be rectified. Often a telephone call between people who speak the same language will sort out uncertainties much quicker and more efficiently than the most carefully devised and translated letter. Involving an impartial intermediary would also take the edge off the dialogue. And it is less time consuming and therefore more cost effective than embarking into lengthy written discussions. Your only German speaking employee has just left or is on holiday. You need temporary help? Call me!
Assessment of Current and Future Employees' German Language Skills
You are looking for an employee with German language skills but don't speak the language enough yourself to assess his ability? Set him a written task and send it to me for assessment. I am also experienced in interviewing staff over the phone: So you can be sure that your employee has the skills he claims to have. This one-off expense may save you disappointment later.
Proof Reading
You have had sales literature translated from English into German but you are not sure how good it is? Let me have a look at it for you. Four eyes always see more than two. One of your staff has some German qualification but it is not his mother tongue? Let me check over your important documentation. Better safe than sorry!
Discounts for Regular Customers and Large Assignments
I value repeat business, therefore, I give significant discounts for regular customers. Whilst I allocate my time to accommodate long-term clients in preference over one-off assignments, there is always time to fit in a small assignment that needs immediate, short-term attention. For large assignments, documents with more than 10,000 words, I offer a minimum discount of 10%. I charge an hourly rate or a fee which is based on word count: Whichever is the cheaper option for you!
