Is this service suitable for official or legal translations?

Our service is not certified for official/legal use (e.g., court documents or notarized translations). However, we specialize in professional, high-quality communication for job applications, housing, formal letters, and everyday bureaucracy.

I received a letter in German and I don’t understand it. Can you help?

Absolutely. If you’ve received a letter from your landlord, your Gemeinde, or another Swiss authority and don’t know what it says, you can send it to us. We’ll translate or explain the content clearly in English or Spanish, and if needed, we’ll also help you write a suitable reply in proper German.

Can I send my document as a file?

Yes, we recommend attaching a PDF or Word file so we can work directly with your text and layout. You’ll find the upload option in the contact form.

Do you write documents from scratch or just translate them?

Both. You can send us an existing draft to translate or ask us to write a new document based on the information you provide. We’ll make sure it’s clear, professional, and well-structured for the Swiss context.

What types of documents can you translate into German?

We translate a wide range of documents, including CVs, cover letters, rental applications, Kündigung letters, emails to landlords or employers, and formal letters to Swiss authorities. If you’re unsure whether your document qualifies, just fill the contact form and we’ll be happy to take a look.
