Translating - Übersetzen

Translations deal with the written word.

While the need for accuracy is self-evident, a good translation will also resemble the original in register of tone and, as far as possible, in layout.

GLS - German Language Services will attend to your documents promptly, or as per arrangement, and with utmost confidentiality. They may be submitted in a variety of formats and will be returned to you in hard and/or soft copy. If they are needed for official purposes they will be certified in line with official requirements.

Examples of translation areas GLS - German Language Services has worked in:
  • personal documents (certificates, employment references, professional and academic qualifications, school certificates, pension notices, migration and customs documents, personal correspondence)
