We translate into German from English, French, Dutch and Chinese. We are especially aware of the peculiarities and the cultural subtleties of language transfer. Moreover, we are convinced that a good translation requires perfect mastery of one’s native language, and that the result should be nothing less than a very good text.
We also subtitle films for TV, cinema and DVD production.
We also do proofreading and editing – ensuring that our clients’ texts are orthographically correct, stylistically appropriate and a pleasure to read.
We gladly accept orders for other subjects in cultural and academic areas or that of developmental policy.
As language and cultural researchers, we are always aware of the cultural, societal and political effects of language in our work.
