Officially recognised translators in Biel, legally sound German translations
Biel is the capital of the Swiss watchmaking industry and also the country's largest bilingual city. More than a hundred watch companies and the world's largest watch group shape this location on the German-French language border. For watchmaking and precision engineering we translate technical documentation, production manuals and brand campaigns. For newcomers and international professionals we produce certified documents and records for the authorities in Biel.
In Biel we focus on results you can put to use straight away: professional translation, legal translation, certified translation, interpreting and proofreading are coordinated so that internal sign-offs at companies and institutions, from parliament and public administration through to universities, go through smoothly. German and English are the standard; we additionally handle projects in French and Turkish. Rush jobs stay predictable, because the layout and formatting of complex documents, from contracts and general terms and conditions to manuals, are carried over so they can be used directly. For technical teams the same applies to an operating manual or a data sheet, with no follow-up tinkering.
What matters is the right subject-matter fit: legal, technical or medical content is handled by expert teams; a mandatory four-eyes review keeps terminology consistent and ensures that figures, tables and illustrations are carried over correctly. For multilingual projects in Biel, for instance documents ranging from public authorities to research institutions, we extend German and English, depending on the audience, with a Hebrew translator or a Russian translator. Whether it is a privacy policy, a contract or project documentation: queries are resolved efficiently, and the final layout is set so that teams in law firms, laboratories or editorial offices can carry on working without detours.
