Important Characteristics of Languages
German is among the main languages in the world. It is also the second most widely used language on the Internet. Germany holds more trade shows than any other country and is a major destination for U.S. exports. Major industries include Pharmaceutical, Automotive, Engineering and Science, all areas that demand high standards in German translation.
US English (AE) differs from British English (BE). Not only in pronunciation and choice of terminology, but also in spelling. George Bernard Shaw once said that the United States and the UK are "two countries divided by a common language."
GLS Translation Services
Literal translations can be anything from funny to completely confusing. Don't let your messages get "lost in translation."
Computer translations and translation software can not substitute or compete with the "brains" and the creative skills of a professional translator. A good translator will ask you a lot of questions and will make sure that each document translation will fit the needs of those who will use it. Style, vocabulary and terminology will be determined based on the target group you have in mind. Sometimes you might want to translate only the key issues in a document. Translation fees are based on word counts of the final (target) language. A minimum charge of $25 applies to all orders.
Volume discounts are available for documents with more than 1,000 words. New customers receive the first page of any translation free of charge.
Translation requests can be submitted in the following formats:
