Translate Business Docs to German
Budget: $30 – $50 USD
I need a reliable German translator to convert several business-oriented documents from English into clear, native-sounding German. The material includes company overviews, internal memos, and client-facing summaries—nothing highly technical or creatively styled, just straightforward business content.
What I will provide
• Source files in their original format (mostly Word and PDF, with the occasional plain-text export).
• A brief glossary of preferred brand terms and tone guidelines.
What I expect back
• Accurate, idiomatic German versions of each document.
• A clean, well-formatted Word file for every translated piece, mirroring the original layout where practical.
• Careful handling of numbers, dates, and business jargon so they fit German conventions.
• A short note highlighting any ambiguous phrases you had to interpret.
Ideal background
You’re fluent in both English and German, comfortable with business terminology, and attentive to details such as formal vs. informal register. Familiarity with standard CAT tools is a plus but not mandatory—as long as consistency is rock-solid.
Timeline
I’ll share the full packet (about 8,000 words) upon project start; I’d like the first draft within one week and a quick round of revisions, if needed, right after.
If this sounds like a good fit, let me know your experience with similar business translations and any questions you have about the scope.
