What do we mean by the “native speaker principle”?

It is certainly true that a qualified translator can translate into both their native language and a foreign language they have learned, but as professionals we know that only a translation into the translator’s native language guarantees outstanding quality. Only a trained, native-speaker translator knows all the finer points of their language. And a language is a living thing – so the native speaker principle means you are always on the safe side!

Why does a native speaker also need sound training as a translator and specialisation in the respective specialist area?

In business, outstanding translations are needed so as to communicate just as persuasively to foreign partners as German customers. This means the style of the translation must correspond to the German source text without fail.

Or are your contacts located in Québec or Africa? We will be pleased to advise you which language it would be best to translate into.
