In what format will my translation be delivered?
You don’t need to worry about formatting: we accept files of all kinds and deliver the translation in the format you need.
We can accept, translate and deliver the following formats, among others:
- all Microsoft Office formats (e.g. Word, Excel and PowerPoint, Sway and more)
- all Adobe file formats (e.g. PDF documents, InDesign files and more)
- websites and HTML code (e.g. from content management systems such as WordPress, Contao or TYPO3)
- CAT tool formats of all kinds
- on request, non-editable formats too, such as books, printed articles or images

Editable and non-editable file formats: what’s the difference?
We distinguish between editable and non-editable texts. Non-editable texts are those supplied, for example, as a printed document or fax. CAT tools analyse these imprecisely, which means some prior processing and formatting is necessary.
Editable formats, such as Word documents, can be edited directly and analysed to calculate the workload (word count). The same applies to PowerPoint or Sway presentations and to text files from your content management system.
To speed up the translation and keep time and costs as low as possible, please send us an editable file format if you can. If that isn’t possible, we will of course accept a non-editable format too.
We are happy to give you more information in a personal consultation.
Short-notice translations, delivered in the format you need
Short of time? Our express translation service can help.
Even with an accelerated workflow, our quality standards stay the same. Whatever the file format, we work according to the Native-Speaker Principle and, on request, add an independent translation review.
Translation of certificates, diplomas and legal documents
In most cases, legal documents such as certificates and diplomas must be translated, stamped and signed by a sworn translator.
That is why certified translations are printed on high-quality paper and certified by a translator who has taken the relevant oath. On request, we can also send you a digital version.
In a hurry? Let us know if you need a fast translation or a certified translation at short notice.
