| Main market | What differs | Our advice | |
|---|---|---|---|
| German Standard German | Germany | The usual reference for vocabulary and style | Default for Germany and pan-European content |

| Swiss Standard German | German-speaking Switzerland | No ß (ss is used instead) and some different vocabulary | Use Swiss conventions for Swiss audiences |

Certified translations are available on request, with the receiving authority’s requirements confirmed before work begins. A final native review checks wording and completeness.
Documents we translate:
Our medical linguists handle terminology, dosage instructions, and warnings carefully, adapting the reading level for the intended audience. Plain-language rewrites help make patient-facing material easier to follow. For high-risk content, optional back-translation supports comparison with the source and gives your clinical reviewers another opportunity to identify differences in meaning before release.
Documents we translate:
Our technical linguists use terminology management to maintain approved vocabulary and German translation memory to reuse checked content.
