German-to-English, English-to-German and certified translation
These requests involve different directions or formalities. Confirm the actual document and its intended recipient.
German to English
Written German originals translated for English-speaking recipients, including UK business, academic and administrative uses.

English source files translated into German for customers or institutions using that language; a separate direction.
Certified German translation
When a recipient requests a signed accuracy statement, translator details or a defined document format.
Sworn translator requirement
Some overseas authorities require an officially appointed translator in their jurisdiction; a UK agency's certificate is not automatically equivalent.

German-to-English translation FAQs
Answers on common documents, language direction, price, specialist requirements and certification.
What is included in German-to-English agency translation?
Your brief can cover German source documents, English output, terminology, formatting and any agreed review. The exact scope and delivery are confirmed for each project.
Can you translate German degrees and birth certificates?
Yes, these documents can be assessed for translation. If a university or authority needs a statement of accuracy, see certified German translation and check the recipient's rules.
Do you translate English to German as well?
That is the reverse language direction. For English originals intended for German-language recipients, see English-to-German translation services.
Can business contracts and technical documents be translated?
Business, legal and technical German content can be scoped for English translation. Provide the subject matter and any terminology reference or formatting template.
What about documents from Austria or Switzerland?
German-language documents may contain country-specific terms and official conventions. Identify the issuing country and purpose; Swiss German dialect speech may require additional language-specific handling.
Can you translate a German website or product catalogue?
A website or catalogue can be assessed as a German-to-English project. Share the target audience, original content, approved branding language and desired output.
What if I need a certified or sworn translation?
UK certified translations and jurisdiction-specific sworn translations have different functions. Confirm what the receiving institution requires before ordering and whether a separately authorised translator is needed.
How much does German-to-English translation cost?
The quotation depends on language direction, document volume, condition, terminology, formatting, certification and deadline. Provide the source material for an accurate scope.

You can state your deadline, but availability and the offered completion date must be confirmed for the actual documents and any additional certification.
