Precise translations of annual reports, CSR reports, legal texts and corporate communication

For about 25 years, EnglishBusiness has been a trusted partner for listed companies, providing professional translations of annual reports, CSR reports, legal texts and corporate communication.

All of our processes, from receipt of your enquiry to delivery of the completed translation, are transparent and stable procedures. Our translators, proofreaders and project managers all work together as a team. Our Translation business unit was certified according to the ISO 17100:2016 standard in November 2018.

When translating your texts, we only work with native speakers of the target language who are also experts in the subject matter. Client-specific language resources ensure the consistent use of your corporate language.

This makes us your go-to specialist for written communications on any topic and in both language combinations: German to English and English to German.

Human Resources translations

Your choice for HR translations

  • Twenty years of HR experience
  • Trusted partner of many of Germany’s leading companies and management consultancies
  • In-house team of native speakers
  • Fast turnaround

Human resources is an area of a company with numerous interfaces, both within the company itself and with the public. This can result in a wide variety of communication challenges. In a multinational company, this often means that the HR department has to produce documents not just in German, but also in English.

We are experienced in dealing with the specific requirements of different types of HR documents. We will gladly translate both your recruiting materials and your internal communications. We can also support you in the translation of news and social media materials.

We can support your employer branding, recruitment and employee retention initiatives. If you would like us to translate HR documents, training materials and leadership development content, we look forward to hearing from you. Our services are as diverse as your HR projects.

Translating legal documents presents a particular challenge. Translators require sophisticated linguistic skills in order to deliver high-quality, precise documents. The accurate translation of legal documents calls for experienced language specialists who are well versed in various legal systems and familiar with the specific terminology. This ensures that the meaning is conveyed precisely. We will gladly assist you with the translation of legal documents, including securities prospectuses, audit reports, articles of association, contracts, general terms and conditions or court judgements.

Translation of Contracts, Audit Reports or T&C

In international companies, parties from different language regions must often agree on written conditions of use, purchase, lease or cooperation. While only one version of a document can be legally binding, legal translations are still a valuable method of communication. The parties must know exactly what they are getting into and whether they are in a position to negotiate. With a professional translation, companies create more transparency for themselves and others, and open themselves up to the international market.

If you always read contracts and terms and conditions thoroughly, then you know how important it is to be able to understand these documents in your own language. Translators of legal texts have to not only understand the specialist terminology in the source text, but also transfer it to the target language in a way that is understandable. We guarantee the quality of our translations by only using native speakers of the target language who are very familiar with legal texts. Our service always includes an editing stage to ensure consistency, correctness and a high linguistic level. Thanks to our internal and external resources, the team is always informed about up-to-date terminology and your stylistic preferences.

If you have contracts with international clients or partners or you offer products overseas, it is worth having at least one English translation of the relevant documents. If you have a legal document in another language, we will support you with a high-quality specialist translation.

Certified Translation for Submission to Authorities and Courts

If you need to submit a document to the authorities or to a court, a certified translator needs to confirm the correctness and completeness of the document. The signature of the certified translator or a qualified electronic signature confirms that the translation is authorised by the court. The authorisation is especially relevant for documents in other languages, certificates and other official documents.
