My fees are lower than those

but my work is never the less
accurate and flawless
TRANSLATION vs INTERPRETATION
Translation is the operation which consists in rendering
a written source text into a different language. The
Interpreter, on the other hand, translates spoken words
verblly into a foreign language. In essence, translators
do it in writing, interpreters verbally.
Websites usually have limited
space for content, including text.
This can become an issue when
translating English to German, as
this language has longer words,
different sentencing, different
expressions, etc. Short phrases
are usually best.
IMPORTANT
Your translated text does
reflect on your business!
Business translations should
only be done by people who
speak both languages on a
native level, as text can not just
be translated word for word
into a foreign language, or
you’ll get lots of laughters.
Beware of computerized
translations. A Skandinavian
vacuum manufacturer used this
once for an ad in the US:
“Our vacuums really suck!”
Well, basically it’s correct, but
you see what I mean :)
UEBERSETZUNG VON WEBSEITEN
Websites haben normalerweise
nur begrenzten Platz für Inhalte,
einschließlich Text. Dies kann bei
der Übersetzung vom Englischen
ins Deutsche zu einem Problem
werden, da diese Sprache oft
längere Wörter, unterschiedliche
Sätze, unterschiedliche
Ausdrücke, usw. hat. Kurze Sätze
sind normalerweise am besten.
EXAMPLE: Same text as above
