Frequently asked questions
How long does it usually take to translate a document into German?
The delivery time of a project into German depends on its characteristics: source language, level of complexity (technicality of the text), number of words (volume to be translated), deadlines, specific instructions, etc. That’s why we offer customised quotes that take account of your project criteria. However, once the deadline has been set, Swisstranslate undertakes to meet it and deliver your translation on time.
What are the usual rates for German translations?
Every project is unique. Just like the delivery time, the price of a German translation depends on the source language, the level of complexity (technicality of the text), the number of words (volume to be translated), deadlines and your specific instructions. Contact us for a free personalised quote.
Can I get a certified translation into German?
Yes, Swisstranslate offers certified translations from French into German, German into French, German into English and German into Italian.
What's the difference between German, Austrian German, Swiss German and Hochdeutsch?
German has many variants, with differences in pronunciation, vocabulary, accents and so on. Vocabulary is sometimes completely different: for example, we say Guten Tag (good morning) in Germany, but Grüss Gott in Austria. So it’s important to specify in your request whether you want a translation into German from Austria, Germany or Switzerland. Only native speakers of the German-speaking country concerned will be able to adapt their translation to your needs and target audience. That’s why Swisstranslate carefully selects the team entrusted with your project.
