ADDITIONAL SERVICES
For Cross-Language Company Terminology!
Through targeted terminology management, we ensure the consistent use of specific technical terms across all your documents and language versions. This process guarantees that each term is applied exactly as per your definition, significantly improving the clarity and comprehensibility of communication. The result? Higher translation efficiency and significant cost savings.
If you need your translation ASAP, tolingo is your translation agency!
We generally provide professional translations in a short time. However, if an especially urgent request comes in, we offer the Express and Super-Express options. Your order will be prioritized, ensuring that you can complete your project in the shortest time possible.
If it needs to be accurate, tolingo is your translation agency!
To ensure translations are accurate, we offer various levels of proofreading and editing. Whether a specialized translation or machine translation is required, our professional translators ensure that your translations meet the highest quality standards. We work according to the "four-eyes principle" to minimize errors and guarantee a professional result.
If it needs to look good, tolingo is your translation agency!
In our professional translation agency, we place great importance on ensuring that, for example, technical documentation is not only accurate in content but also visually appealing. Our desktop publishing experts take care of the layout adjustments, ensuring that all images, graphics, and text, including line breaks and word hyphenation, are properly displayed in the target document. We work with programs such as Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, PowerPoint, and FrameMaker to ensure a high-quality appearance.
If the wording needs to be just right, tolingo is your translation agency!
We understand how important consistent wording is for businesses. That's why we offer the creation of a glossary, where specific terms for your project are collected. For all subsequent orders, these terms will be translated consistently and precisely according to the glossary, improving the quality of the translations. This not only contributes to consistency but also to cost efficiency.
If it needs to be consistent, tolingo is your translation agency!
To ensure consistent translations for recurring orders, creating a Translation Memory is almost always worthwhile. This tool acts as a memory storage for previously translated text passages. For subsequent orders with similar content, these translations are automatically retrieved without being recalculated. This ensures you always receive consistent and high-quality translations, offering great value for money.
If signatures & stamps are required, tolingo is your translation agency!
In our professional translation agency, we offer certified translations carried out by sworn professional translators. These translations are officially recognized by offices, authorities, and courts, and are carefully stamped with the appropriate seal and official certification note. International companies, in particular, can benefit from our services.
With our customized transcription services, we guarantee an accurate conversion of your audio and video files into precise text (with or without subsequent translation). Our approach ensures that every nuance of the language is captured and reproduced in detail. What’s the result? Seamless communication and significant savings in time and cost.

Important Questions – and All the Answers
A translation from English into another language starts at 0.12 €/word. A translation into English starts at a price of 0.08 €/word.
The price for each translation depends on several factors, including the combination of source and target language, the translation method, and potentially the subject area. Ultimately, the total cost is also influenced by the text volume, the desired additional services, and the delivery date (for translations with express options).
The delivery time for an English translation – and for any translation in general – mainly depends on the volume of the text. Once we know the volume of your order, we will send you an offer with a guaranteed delivery date.
In principle, our processes are so streamlined and optimized that we can handle every translation quickly. Smaller translation projects are often delivered within 1–2 business days.
If you need a translation urgently, you can shorten the delivery time with our Express or Super-Express options. We will prioritize the order and deliver it even faster.
A Translation Memory is a type of memory storage or personalized glossary and is beneficial for regular translation needs. All translations are stored in a database, and translated paragraphs and text sections are reused for future translation projects. This improves the quality and consistency of your texts while saving you time and money.
For more complex projects, you can easily request and commission them by phone or email.

Why English is the First Step
Why the English-speaking Market Should Be Your Next Target
Internationalizing into the English-speaking market offers companies huge advantages. It provides access to a wide customer base, increases visibility, and strengthens competitiveness.
English-Speaking Hotspots
Particularly attractive markets include the UK and the USA. The UK is one of the strongest e-commerce markets in Europe, and the USA is a global leader in many industries. Both countries value "German quality" and are open to innovative products and services.

Bonus Tip: Market Finder
Have you decided on the English language but not yet on the exact target market? Google has launched a free "Market Finder" tool that helps businesses discover new international markets (online).
Now we have the salad! AI translations should be used with caution.
Getting translations from the "machine", or an online translator, can be a fast and cost-effective way to enter new markets. The machines are getting smarter – but we all know them: The many hilarious mistakes that even the best AI tools keep making because they simply can't "read between the lines."
This means: Without correction by trained English-speaking professional translators, AI translations carry a high risk of causing potential embarrassment and, in the worst case, loss of revenue.
The English language is more than just words. It is an expression of culture and identity.
A good translation takes this into account and adapts the text to the local market. It requires human empathy, understanding, and expertise – something that an online translator (at least for now) can't provide on its own.

Knowledge to go
The Most Native Speakers Worldwide – English Ranks 3rd
Currently, English is recognized as an official language in over 60 countries, including major ones like the USA, Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. In many other nations, such as India and Nigeria, English serves as an important lingua franca and is spoken by most people as a second or third language. Altogether, 1.5 billion people worldwide speak English as a second language. With around 380 million native speakers, English is the third-largest native language globally – after Mandarin (Chinese) and Spanish). Over the past decades, English has become the dominant language of global business. In science, it is even the most frequently used language for research publications. As a result, the demand for high-quality translations has grown significantly. Hardly any company today can operate without an English translation of its website, and academic research findings only gain global reach with a precise scientific translation.
English Is Not Just English – And This Matters for Translation
Looking up a word in the dictionary isn’t enough. English is a language with many variants and dialects spoken worldwide. The most well-known are American English and British English, but Australian, Canadian, New Zealand, and South African English are also widely spoken in their respective regions. When translating English texts, it’s crucial to choose the “right” English variant for your audience. Additionally, cultural differences must be considered, including varying expressions and idioms depending on the region. The purpose and field of the international texts are equally important. Whether translating German-English or English-German, marketing translations should be written to drive sales in the target language, while medical translations require precise terminology and accuracy.
American English vs. British English – Key Differences in Translation
American English and British English are the two primary variants of the English language. While they appear (and sound) similar at first glance, there are differences in pronunciation, spelling, grammar, and vocabulary. Mistakes in translations often occur with spelling; for example, in American English, “color” is written without a “u,” whereas in British English, it’s “colour.” And ordering a “cookie” in England might earn you a puzzled look instead of a biscuit. To ensure your translation is fully understood by the target audience, it’s best to consult a professional translation agency.
