TRANSLATION

"Made in Germany" from Baden-Württemberg stands for quality worldwide, and we are committed to upholding this reputation. A high-quality translation should be easy to read, easy to understand, and indistinguishable from an original text in the target language. That is our standard.

Top-tier quality for the highest demands

High-quality and efficient

Economical

Reliable and cost-effective

Collaborative

No AI Translation Without Human Verification

We do not offer AI-only translations because even the best machine translation can still produce critical errors. Every translation is reviewed by an expert to ensure maximum accuracy and relevance.

The Options in Detail

Premium

Our highest-quality option for demanding content that requires a flawless translation into the target language. A professional translator completes the initial translation, which is then reviewed by a second expert as part of the four-eyes proofreading process. This ensures linguistic precision, as well as a natural tone and style adapted to the target culture. Ideal for marketing texts and other content that need to sound authentic and engaging.

Description

Professional human translation with subsequent proofreading (4‑eyes principle).

Best for

Marketing translations that need to sound natural and authentic.

Process

Two human translators collaborate to ensure the highest quality and a fluent, natural style.

Costs

100% of the base word price

Smart

A cost-effective alternative that maintains high quality. This option is based on machine translation, which is then refined by two experts following the 4-eyes principle. The cost is approximately 75% of the Premium option and depends on the target language. Best suited for informative websites and corporate documents that require professionalism but not necessarily a fully natural tone.

Description

Post-edited machine translation with subsequent proofreading (4-eyes principle)

Best for

High-quality content that needs a cost-effective translation, e.g., informative websites, corporate documents.

Process

High quality, similar to the Premium option, but the text may sound slightly "translated" and less natural.

Costs

80-75% of the premium costs, depending on the language

Economical

A budget-friendly solution that combines machine translation with a single-review process. One translator reviews the pre-translated text, ensuring correctness and readability but without extensive stylistic improvements. This option costs around 65% of the Premium price and is ideal for internal documents or content where accuracy is more important than style.

Description

Post-edited machine translation (single review).

Best for

Internal documents or less visible content where correctness is key, but fine-tuning is not required.

Process

The translation is checked for accuracy with minimal adjustments to ensure readability.

Costs

70-65%, depending on the language

Collaborative

Our most cost-effective solution, ideal for clients who have in-house resources for post-editing and want to retain full control over the final version. We provide a machine pre-translation that you can edit in a structured Word spreadsheet format or within a translation tool. To facilitate the editing process, we offer the option of borrowing Trados Studio licenses on request.

Onboarding and support:
To ensure a smooth workflow, we provide comprehensive onboarding so you can use Trados Studio effectively. If needed, we can also integrate your preferred AI model, such as DeepL or OpenAI, and guide you through its functionalities in detail.

Description

Machine translation with client-side revision.

Best for

Clients with internal resources who want to refine the translation themselves.

Process

Texts are provided as a structured Word file or in a translation tool with an optional software license.

Costs

20% of the base word price
