FAQs

What makes a professional translation?

A professional translation is more than just linguistic accuracy. It's achieved through the combined efforts of native speakers who are familiar with your industry and are certified in accordance with ISO 17100 or 18587, consistent terminology and structured processes. The result is content that meets all requirements and thus fulfils its purpose in the target market – and represents your company credibly on the international stage.

How can I find a professional translator?

The right translation partner should have proven experience in your domain, work in accordance with recognised process standards such as ISO 17100, and provide dedicated contact persons as well as teams comprising core translators. Certifications, references and membership of industry associations such as tekom are further indicators of quality. oneword meets these criteria – and offers you personalised support throughout every project.

Which languages does oneword provide translation and interpreting services for?

oneword performs translation into over 80 languages, including English, French, Spanish, Eastern European and Asian languages, as well as less commonly requested language combinations. We work exclusively with native-speaking translators and interpreters who are familiar with both the target language and the cultural nuances of the target market.

Your texts will be translated by native-speaking professional translators who specialise in your domain and are qualified in accordance with ISO 17100 and ISO 18587. At oneword, we follow the "core translator" principle, with dedicated teams working on your projects – this ensures terminological consistency and a deep understanding of your content across all projects. A dedicated contact person coordinates the entire process.

The easiest way is to contact our project team directly. We'll analyse your requirements, recommend the most suitable translation approach – whether human translation, MTPE or transcreation – and coordinate all languages and documents centrally.
