About this language pair

English and German: one pair, two directions

From English into German you translate for business partners, clients and authorities abroad; from German into English for UK authorities, banks and employers. In both directions a native specialist translator with domain experience works on your text.

Where an authority asks for a certified translation, we bring in a sworn translator. The translation carries the required declaration, signature and stamp, and we arrange the Apostille or consular legalisation your destination country demands.

Translation from English to German

English into German serves sponsors and manufacturers taking medical content into the DACH market: clinical study protocols and patient information for German ethics committees, plus SmPC texts and instructions for use for regulatory submissions. Native translators with medical-sector experience work to your terminology list, with a second review where the risk profile or volume requires it.

Translation from German to English

German into English is the incoming direction: German discharge letters, medical records and lab reports that UK clinicians, insurers or occupational health teams need in English. Our medical specialists preserve dosage details, diagnostic codes and clinical nuance exactly as written. We reply within 30 minutes during business hours.

In practice

How such a project runs

A patient is treated abroad: the medical file goes from English into German, discharge letters and results come back for the UK clinician. Medical translators translate true to the record, with a second check where risk or volume requires it.
