German Translation Services FAQ
What services are included in your German translation offering? Our German translation services encompass document translation, website localization, transcription services, and software localization, among others. We handle everything from business contracts to technical manuals, and personal documents.
Who performs the German translations? At GTS, translations are performed by native speaking linguists who have industry-specific expertise. This ensures accuracy, cultural appropriateness, and an understanding of the nuances of the German language.
How do you ensure the quality of translations? Our translation process includes multiple steps to ensure quality. After initial translation, every document goes through an editing and proofreading stage by a separate team of experts. We also implement strict quality control checks that are defined in our ISO 17100:2015 certified quality policy.
How quickly can GTS deliver a translation project? While the turnaround time for a project depends on its complexity and length, we always prioritize efficient service delivery without compromising quality. Our team is capable of meeting tight deadlines while ensuring accuracy.
What are the differences between human and machine translation? Machine translation (MT) is performed by software without any review by a professional, human translator. Human translation is done by a professional translator who has proficiency in both the source and target languages. While machine translation has reached a good level of quality, any MT output should be reviewed by a professional translator. This is due to the propensity of MT to misinterpret context in the source material, often resulting in translation errors.
Can machine translation reach the quality of human translation? MT can produce well-written sentences which are equally as good as human translation. MT works especially well on short, controlled texts. However, MT is not as a reliable as human translation and can also produce incorrect sentences, sometimes bordering on the ludicrous. That is why you should never trust any mission-critical tasks to MT.
How do you handle sensitive or confidential information? We uphold stringent confidentiality and privacy policies to safeguard your sensitive information. Our translators and staff are bound by strict non-disclosure agreements.
Can you handle large-scale German translation projects? Absolutely. Thanks to our global team of translators, we can manage extensive translation projects efficiently while maintaining high quality.
