Professional German Translation Services and German Linguistic Services

An oft-requested language for Avantpage translators, German is spoken by over 100 million people worldwide.  It is spoken in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, the South Tyrol region of Italy, parts of Poland, parts of Belgium, parts of Romania and the Alsace region of France. German is the third most commonly taught foreign language worldwide, and the most widely spoken native language in the European Union.

Standard German is known today as "Hochdeutsch" (High German), and this is used almost always for written German. Books and newspapers are printed in standard German. Although High German is spoken by most educated speakers, regional variants exist in the spoken language owing largely to the influence of the old dialects, although the dialects themselves are falling out of use. Today, High German is the language of church and state, education and literature. A corresponding norm for spoken High German, influenced by the written standard, is used in education, the theater, and broadcasting.

As a global force, German-speaking countries represent a highly-educated, economically stable demographic, and if German speakers are part of your target market, it makes sense to choose translation that is high quality, culturally sensitive and audience-appropriate.

Avantpage German translators are fluent in German and English, and are familiar with dialects, cultural influences and other factors that may affect translation. If you are reaching out to connect with German speakers, either locally or globally, Avantpage will help you communicate with them effectively.
