Where Will You Submit Your Translation?
United States: Documents submitted to USCIS in a foreign language generally require a complete English translation with the translator’s certification of accuracy and competence. For document preparation, see our USCIS certified translation services. Check the US immigration translation regulation and the instructions for your application.
United Kingdom: UKVI, universities and other organisations may request a specific translation statement or certification. Check the receiving body’s instructions before ordering.
Germany: German authorities may require a translation prepared by an authorised or sworn translator, depending on the document and receiving institution. Send us your document and the institution’s instructions: we will review the requirements, explain the available options and confirm the appropriate service before you order. For background on document acceptance, see the German Federal Foreign Office guidance.
German to English & English to German Translation
Littera24 provides German to English and English to German translation for individuals and businesses worldwide, including certificates, diplomas, contracts, corporate documents and technical manuals. For other German language pairs, Littera24 selects translators according to language direction and subject expertise. Send your file and tell us where it will be used. Our team will recommend the appropriate translation service and document format.
For business and technical projects, Littera24 preserves product codes, measurements, defined contractual terms and consistent terminology. Specify whether the text is intended for Germany, Austria or Switzerland when regional German terminology or conventions matter.
If you need a translation for an official procedure, the certification format must match the receiving institution. A standard certified translation is not automatically equivalent to a German sworn translation.
For other language pairs, Littera24 offers professional translation services in more than 80 languages worldwide.
Which German Translation Format Do You Need?
Use standard translation for general communication and specialist business files that do not require formal certification. Choose a certified German translation if a university, USCIS, employer or another authority requests an accuracy statement. A notarised or sworn translation is a separate requirement in some jurisdictions.
Notarised translation and Apostille-related formalities are distinct from ordinary certification. Confirm the exact format requested by the institution before placing the order.
For documents requiring specific certification, read about certified translation services.

How We Ensure German Translation Quality
Littera24 has worked with private and corporate clients since 2010 and cooperates with more than 200 professional linguists. Our translators typically have at least five years of professional experience. Professional German translators are assigned according to the language pair, subject area, file type and project requirements. Native-language specialists can be involved when appropriate.
We work with Word, Excel, PDF and other common document formats. On suitable projects, CAT tools such as MateCat, Trados and Phrase help maintain terminology consistency and check technical details; human translators remain responsible for the work. Final checks cover names, numbers, terminology and the agreed document format. Optional review by a second linguist can be added to any translation. For text polishing and editing, see our Editing & Proofreading Services.

Certified Translation Examples
These samples illustrate how a certification statement and translated document may be presented. The format, wording and supporting details depend on your document and the receiving institution’s requirements.
A translation certification may identify the source language, confirm completeness and accuracy, and include the certifier’s information. Do not assume one format is accepted by every authority.
