English to German Translation Services and Translators
With an English to German translation of your website or documents you can potentially reach 100 Million people who speak German as their first language, 128 Million if you include second-language speakers. The main target country, of course, would be Germany with more than 75 Million speakers. Other countries with a significant number of speakers or with German as an official language include Austria (7.5 Million) and Switzerland (official language), as well as many minorities all around the world.
While the number of German speakers isn’t nearly as large as Spanish, for example, English to German translation must be one of the first languages to consider when expanding your products or services globally because of Germany’s strong economy, and the high penetration of Internet access. Germany also is America’s largest European trade partner and its fifth-largest trade partner worldwide (after Canada, Mexico, China, and Japan), and has the world’s third-largest economy ($2.1 Trillion, 2001).

An important consideration when deciding to translate your documents are of course dialects. Spoken German is quite varied across Germany, and even more if you consider Austria and Switzerland. Thankfully, differences in writing are much less pronounced, and differences in formal writing, which will probably constitute most of your texts to be translated, are very minor across Germany. There are some significant differences in Austria and Switzerland, but unless you are targeting those countries specifically with your English to German translation, your documents and websites would be best translated into High German or Standard German.
