Document Translation for Business
Brochures, presentations, manuals, proposals: Business documents require precise translation in the original layout. We deliver ready-to-use files – no copy-paste rework.
What you get
- Translation in original format (Word, PowerPoint, InDesign, PDF)
- Terminology alignment against your termbase
- Four-eyes review with documented protocol
- Typeset layout including tables and captions
- Confidentiality: NDA and named reviewers upon request
- Delivery with change history and version status
Documents carry responsibility – translations do too
A proposal, a contract, a datasheet: documents are written commitments. Their translation must be accurate not only linguistically but also technically, formally, and in layout – the table on page 12 just like the footnote that affects liability.
We translate documents with structure: terminology alignment, four-eyes review, format fidelity from Word documents to InDesign brochures. You receive files that look like the original – just in a different language.
How it works
- 01
Analysis & Quotation
Format, scope, subject area, confidentiality: You receive a fixed price with delivery date within 48 hours.
- 02
Translation with termbase
Technical terms are validated against your terminology; unresolved definitions are clarified rather than guessed at.
- 03
Four-eyes review
A second specialist reviews content, numbers, completeness, and tone – documented per document.
- 04
Layout & delivery
The document is typeset and delivered in the original format – ready for print or dispatch, with change history.
Layout Preserved
We work directly in your formats – Office, InDesign, PDF – and return designed documents, including for RTL languages.
Terminology-consistent
Your technical terms are kept consistent across all documents – supported by your term base, which grows with every order.
Clear Boundaries
Certified translations for authorities require sworn translators and are not part of our offering – we honestly tell you when you need them.
Format fidelity: why layout is part of translation
German texts often run 20 percent longer in French, shorter and differently broken in Finnish: without layout work, tables, captions, and page breaks get disrupted. Therefore we translate in format – Word, PowerPoint, InDesign, PDF – and deliver typeset-ready.
Technical consistency is ensured by the termbase: component is called component in every chapter and every language. For sensitive content, named reviewers work under a confidentiality agreement – documented, with NDA if requested before project start.
Typical use cases
Contracts & business documents
Terms and conditions, offers, agreements: precisely translated, with clear indication of which version is legally binding.
Technical documentation
Manuals, data sheets, safety instructions – terminology-consistent across hundreds of pages and versions.
Presentations & brochures
Sales materials that convince abroad as much as at home – including layout adaptation.
A translated document is only finished when no one mistakes it for a translation.
Frequently asked questions about this service
Are your translations certified?
No – certified translations may only be issued by sworn translators. For official purposes we are happy to arrange; for business documents we deliver reviewed specialized translations with documented quality assurance.
How do you handle confidential content?
Confidential as standard: access only for project participants, reviewers under confidentiality agreement, NDA before inspection upon request, and pseudonymized processing of sensitive passages.
What does a document translation cost?
Depends on scope, subject area and format – which is why our quote within 48 hours states a fixed price. Word count serves as orientation; layout work is listed separately.
