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 is the export direction: British companies selling into Germany, Austria and Switzerland need commercial contracts, technical manuals and website or product copy in native German. Our specialist translators localise for the DACH reader, supported by a structured QA layer with terminology list and style guide.

Translation from German to English

German into English handles what arrives from the German-speaking world: Handelsregister extracts and annual reports for UK banks and investors, plus German diplomas, birth certificates and notarial deeds for British authorities, universities and employers. Certified translation is coordinated where the receiving body requires it. We reply within 30 minutes during business hours.

In practice

How such a project runs

A company opens a branch abroad: website, employment contracts and product documentation go from English into German, while incorporation documents and bank records travel the other way. One project manager guards terminology and planning in both directions, and confirms per document whether certification or legalisation is required.

In which direction does this English-German translation work?
Bidirectional: from English into German and the reverse. We coordinate native translators into the target language and confirm the variant per project.
Does Ecrivus provide certified English-German translations?
Yes, certified English-German translation is coordinated on request, typically via Wbtv-registered translators (Netherlands), NRBTV (Belgium), öbu (Germany), expert traducteur près la cour d'appel (France) or ITI/CIOL (UK), depending on the receiving authority.
What document types are commonly translated between English and German?
Common types: contracts, annual reports, technical manuals, personal documents (birth certificates, diplomas, extracts), notarial deeds and commercial correspondence.
How quickly will I receive a quote?
We respond within 30 minutes on working days with a quote. Lead time is confirmed in the quote.
How does Ecrivus assure quality?
We combine native specialist translators with a structured QA layer (terminology list, style guide, second review where the legal field, risk profile or volume requires it). CAT tools (Trados / memoQ / Phrase TMS) ensure consistency across volume and repetitions.
