German language pairs
Bulgarian–German and
German with other listed languages
German translation covers Bulgarian into German, German into Bulgarian, and German paired with the other languages on the list.
German is used in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and some legal and administrative terms differ between them. The target country should be stated in the request so the translator uses the right terms.
Technical documentation is a large share of German translation work: manuals, specifications and safety instructions with long compound terms that must stay identical across documents. See technical translation.

Questions
Questions about
German translation
Does the agency translate between Bulgarian and German?
Yes, in both directions, and also between German and the other languages on the agency's list.
Does German for Austria or Switzerland differ?
Some legal, administrative and everyday terms differ. Stating the target country in the request lets the translator choose the terms used there.
How is German technical terminology kept consistent?
Approved terms and earlier translations are stored in the CAT tool, so the same German term is used throughout a document set and its later updates.
