Each word, phrase, and sentence in a translation must accurately reflect the original document.  Accuracy is especially important when translating legal or business documents.  Therefore, the translator has to know the exact meaning and cultural context behind each term.  Knowledge creates confidence and consistency.  This is possible only with a long legal education, focusing on business and contract law, followed by a deep experience in the international corporate and law-firm worlds.

In addition, the translation must be grammatically and stylistically correct to be easily understood and to make a good impression.  Clarity and style are possible only if the translator is a native speaker of English as well as German and has studied and used both languages since childhood.

However, accuracy, clarity, and style are possible only if a translator is reachable–even on weekends, holidays, or at night–and if he works fast and on time.  A client-oriented translator communicates closely with his client and is there when needed.

A responsible translator accepts only as much work as he can complete himself, so he has enough time to do a good job and can do the translation himself, since every translator translates differently.  This ensures high quality and consistency–also within a series of translations.

Finally, a professional translator carries liability insurance and keeps client information confidential to protect his client's interests.  Best of all, he does all of this at a reasonable rate of compensation because he keeps overhead costs low.

Amateur translators or translation firms cannot satisfy these criteria, Nicolaus Susta can.  His specialty is legal documents, such as agreements and court documents, but he translates, edits, and creates also business, corporate, technical, and medical texts, as well as entire websites, in English and German.  Do you have something that needs to be translated or worded well?  Do you want contracts you can build on and publications that attract buyers?  Then call Nicolaus Susta to get a free cost and time estimate.
