Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I use a specialist German to English translation company?
If you want to be sure that your job will be
done well, you need to go to the experts. Jayne Fox, your contact
at FOXDOCS, has many years of experience in German to English translation.
She is exactly who you need to take care of your project. She will
understand your text and your business needs and will make sure
you are happy with your translation.
Can I use Yahoo or Google Translate to translate my German documents
into English?
Automated translation is a useful tool which
can help you to understand the gist of a text written in another
language. However, if you want to present your company in another
language to your clients and other professionals, automated translation
cannot provide the accuracy and fluency you require. There is no
substitute for a text translated or written by a native speaker.
My colleague’s English is very good. Should I ask him to translate
our communications into English?
Spoken and written English require very different
skills. While a non-native English speaker may be very fluent in
spoken English, he or she will usually find it very difficult to
write high quality, error-free texts in English. We highly recommend
that you always use experienced native speakers for your translation
and writing requirements.
Why should I use German to English translators who live in an English-speaking country?
Native English speakers who live in an English-speaking
country are able to ensure that their translation and writing is
completely up-to-date and consistent with current language usage.
This is particularly important for the translation and writing of
specialist and marketing communications.
What are the advantages of working with a company in New Zealand?
Because of the time difference to Europe, translators
in New Zealand can complete small jobs overnight for you at no extra
cost.
New Zealand is an English-speaking country
with strong links to both the UK and the US. As well as the advantageous
time difference, it offers all the language benefits of other English-speaking
countries.
