Well over a billion people in the world speak the English language. English is not only THE world language, but also THE business language. Here, spoken and written communication is mainly in English. Experience shows that misunderstandings in oral communication can be easily identified and directly corrected. This is not quite so easy in written communication. Accuracy and correctness are of crucial importance here. That is why a translation starts with the correct copywriting in the source language.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The main distinction in technical translations into English is the distinction between British and American English. Besides Great Britain and the USA, there are many other countries, such as Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand or South Africa, where English is also an official language.<\/p>\n

Without a commitment to one of the two main variants, US English or UK English, a translator cannot translate professionally for the relevant target group. However, every reader expects a text that has been suitably translated for his or her language region or cultural area.<\/p>\n

The English language variants differ both in speaking \u2013 which is obvious when you hear a New Yorker or a Londoner speaking \u2013 and in writing.<\/p>\n

There are not only differences in spelling \u2013 color\/colour, liter\/litre, organise\/organize \u2013 but also significant differences in the meaning of words. Thus, in Great Britain, one gets French fries when ordering chips<\/em>. In the USA, however, you get potato chips, because there, British \u2018chips\u2019 are called fries<\/em>. Therefore, if you want potato chips in the UK, you have to order crisps<\/em>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In general, English has no expansion factor<\/strong> compared to German \u2013 in other words, the target texts and source texts are of equal length. Nevertheless, there are often more words in English texts, but shorter words than in German texts. In the case of legal texts, contracts and financial reports, the length of the text can vary considerably in translations, as legal phenomena are often represented in English by a complex sentence formation. However, layouts can usually be adapted without problems.<\/p>

Nevertheless, it should be noted that when translating from English into German, the German text is usually longer than the English source text. Foreign language typesetting<\/a> can therefore lead to space problems.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Your brochures, catalogues, websites and instructions need to appear exactly the same in English as in the source language? It needs to be taken into account that often a difference in the length of the translated texts results in the need to formally adapt the layout of the translation. Because layout and content need to be correctly set.<\/p>

The target layout is adapted by our graphic artists<\/a> so that the original layout is retained. Depending on the expansion facto<\/strong>r of the target language, formal and graphic adaptations are necessary to varying degrees in consultation with our translators. The adapted layout is then checked by our translators before the layouted translation is delivered to you by the agreed delivery date.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
