German translation

German - English - German translations are among the many services we provide at our  translation agency.

Mondo Agit is an agency with offices in numerous European cities (see  offices in Europe) that specialises in the translation to and from German of scientific, financial, legal, business and technical documents (see areas of  specialisation). We also offer a  certified German translation service.

Translations go through two essential stages:

I. Translation
Our native German translators, who are experienced professionals with a sound academic background, translate only to their mother tongue and only texts that are within their field of expertise. They do this with the latest technological developments used in translations, which always guarantees the best results.

II. Proofreading or Spell-check
Our translation agency offers two translation services so that you can choose the one most suited to your needs:

• Translation & Proofreading
  If your text is going to be published, we recommend that you choose the Translation & Proofreading service which, as well as translation, includes additional proofreading by a second translator or proofreader who is a native speaker of the target language and who specialises in the subject area of the text in question.
• Translation & Spell-check
  On the other hand, if you just want a draft or informative translation, the best service for you is Translation & Spell-check, where the agency check the translation to ensure that there are no spelling mistakes and that all the content has been translated.  

At Mondo Agit, our work is always guided by  our principles. Our competitive delivery deadlines and prices make us your best option. Try us out. If you are looking for a German translator, please contact us.

A brief introduction to the German language

German is a Western-Germanic language and belongs to the Indo-European language family. Throughout the Middle Ages, the Germanic dialects that were subject to the second Germanic consonant shift evolved into German or High German, the dialects that were not affected by this shift led to what is nowadays known as Low German.

Standard German was, up until the beginning of the 19th century, an almost exclusively written language. During that same period (the Middle Ages, but also later), states that were very different from one another were established in Central Europe, and every single one of these states had its own language. The unification of all of them was attempted for the first time in the 11th century, although it was not completely achieved until Martin Luther translated the Bible in the 1500s.

Nowadays, it is estimated that there are 105 million native and 80 million non-native speakers of German and therefore has most native speakers in the European Union. German is the official language of Germany, Austria and Liechtenstein and co-official in Belgium (along with French and Dutch), in Switzerland (with French, Italian and Romansh), in Luxembourg (with French and Luxembourgish) and in some regions of Italy.

German is an inflectional language, which does not only affect the end of the word (as in Latin) but also its root. As a consequence, conjugations and declensions are more complex.
It is a language with a very rigid structure that always places the verb in the second position of a main sentence.

With regards to pronunciation, it is spoken as it is written.
Compound words are formed from simple words, although the addition of words does not necessarily always lead to the addition of meaning.

There are three types of declension in German: strong, weak and mixed. Likewise, there are three genders (masculine, feminine and neuter), singular and plural numbers and four cases (nominative, genitive, dative and accusative).
