Professional Translations in Non-European Languages

International communication extends far beyond Europe. Companies, public authorities and private clients increasingly require professional translations for markets in Asia, Africa, the Middle East and other regions of the world.

SATZGEWINN® provides carefully prepared translations in numerous non-European languages. Every project is assigned to a qualified translator with the appropriate native language, regional expertise and specialist knowledge.

Linguistic and cultural diversity

Professional translation is never merely a matter of replacing words in one language with words in another. Cultural conventions, regional language varieties, writing systems and the intended audience must also be considered.

This is especially important when translating content for countries with linguistic and cultural traditions that differ considerably from those in Europe. Our translators are familiar with the conventions of their respective target markets and adapt every text accordingly.

Our non-European languages

Depending on the subject area and intended purpose, we offer translations in the following languages, among others:

If your required language is not listed, please contact us. Thanks to our international network, we can also arrange qualified translators for less frequently requested language combinations.

Arabic translations

Arabic is used across a large geographical region and includes numerous national and regional varieties. The appropriate form of Arabic depends on the target audience, the country and the intended use of the translation.

Our project management therefore considers not only the language itself but also the regional market for which the document is intended. This is particularly important for corporate communication, legal texts, technical documentation and marketing materials.

Chinese translations

Chinese translation projects require a clear definition of the target market. Depending on the country and audience, simplified or traditional Chinese characters may be required. Spoken language varieties such as Mandarin and Cantonese must also be distinguished from the chosen written form.

We select translators whose linguistic background and specialist expertise are suited to the intended region and purpose of your text.

Japanese and Korean translations

Translations into Japanese and Korean require considerable cultural sensitivity. Degrees of politeness, forms of address and communication conventions can differ significantly from those used in European languages.

A literal translation is therefore rarely sufficient. The content must read naturally and appropriately for the target audience while retaining the meaning and tone of the original.

Hindi and other South Asian languages

India and its neighbouring countries are characterised by exceptional linguistic diversity. Hindi is one of the most widely used languages in India, while English and numerous regional languages also play an important role in business and administration.

Before the project begins, we clarify the precise target group, region and language variety required for your translation.

African languages

Africa is home to a vast number of languages and regional varieties. In addition to languages such as Afrikaans and Swahili, English, French, Arabic and Portuguese are frequently used as official or administrative languages.

The appropriate language must therefore be selected according to the destination country, local context and intended readership.

Russian, Turkish and Ukrainian translations

SATZGEWINN® also provides professional translations involving Russian, Turkish and Ukrainian. Our services cover business documents, technical texts, legal content, personal documents and other specialist materials.

For every project, we select a translator with the necessary linguistic background and expertise in the relevant subject area.

Native-language translators in the target market

Our translations are generally prepared according to the native-language principle. This means that translators work into their native language and are fully familiar with current usage, terminology and cultural conventions.

Many of our language professionals live in the country for which the translation is intended. This helps ensure that the finished text sounds natural and is appropriate for its audience.

Regional language varieties

A language can vary considerably between countries and regions. Vocabulary, spelling, terminology and forms of address may differ even when the official language is nominally the same.

We therefore ask where and how the translation will be used. This information enables us to choose the appropriate language variety and translator.

Specialist translations for different sectors

Language skills alone are not sufficient for a professional specialist translation. Translators must also understand the subject matter and use its terminology consistently.

We provide translations for areas including law, technology, IT, medicine, pharmaceuticals, business, finance, marketing, science, culture and tourism. You can find further information on our specialist sectors page.

Direct language combinations

German does not always have to be the source or target language. Depending on availability and subject area, we can also organise direct translations between two other languages, such as English and Chinese or French and Arabic.

Direct translation can reduce unnecessary intermediate stages and preserve the precision of the original content.

Certified translations

Official documents may require a certified translation for submission to an authority, court, university or other institution.

We personally provide certified translations particularly for German, English, French and Spanish. For other languages, we select an appropriately authorised or sworn translator from our professional network. Further details are available on our page about certified translations.

Translations for companies and private clients

Our clients include international companies, public institutions, law firms, research organisations and private individuals. We translate individual certificates as well as extensive corporate and technical documentation.

Every enquiry is reviewed individually so that the appropriate translator, workflow and quality controls can be selected.

Confidentiality and quality assurance

Your documents are handled in strict confidence. Our translators are contractually bound to confidentiality, and we are also happy to sign a separate non-disclosure agreement if required.

Terminology, completeness, formatting and linguistic consistency are checked carefully. For extensive or recurring projects, translation-memory systems and customer-specific glossaries can also be used.

How the translation process works

Send us your documents by email and let us know the required target language, destination country and preferred delivery date. We review the material and prepare a transparent, non-binding quotation.

Once you approve the quotation, we select a qualified translator whose native language, experience and specialist knowledge match your project.

What does a translation cost?

The cost depends on the volume, language combination, complexity, file format and required delivery date. Less common language combinations or highly specialised texts may require additional research and therefore influence the price.

You will always receive an individual quotation before placing your order.
