Why French-German and German-French translations are so popular
France and Germany are not only neighbors, but also important partners in Europe. Whether for studying, working or dealing with the authorities, new situations arise every day in which certified translations between the two languages are required.
Study and education
Baccalauréat recognized in Germany: The French Baccalauréat is much more specialized than the German Abitur. There is the Bac S (science), Bac ES (economics) or Bac L (literature). German universities need to understand these differences - which is why your translation needs a precise explanation of the respective specializations.
German degrees for French universities: Those who want to study in France are often in for a surprise. French universities do not recognize German terms such as "Fachhochschulreife" or"Diplom-Ingenieur(FH)". A good translation explains these qualifications so that French admissions offices can classify them correctly.
Erasmus and grade conversion: The German grading system works completely differently to the French (0-20). While a German 2.0 means "good", the French equivalent would be around 14/20.
Doctorates and research: German doctoral students in France often face the problem that their qualifications are not properly understood. The German doctoral system differs greatly from the French - cultural competence in translation is important here.
Profession and career
Working in France: If you want to work permanently in France, you need a residence permit. French prefectures are very precise when it comes to documents - a small mistake in the translation can mean weeks of delays.
German companies in France: When German companies set up French branches, all articles of association, balance sheets and qualification certificates must be translated.
Internships and exchange programs: French companies expect complete application documents in French. German references must be translated in such a way that French recruiters can understand them.
Personal matters
Franco-German weddings: Things get complicated with binational marriages. German registry offices require French documents in German, French mairies require German documents in French. The French "Livret de famille" (family record book) is often unknown to German authorities.
Spending your retirement in France: Anyone wishing to spend their retirement in France must have all German pension certificates, insurance documents and health documents translated. The French healthcare system works differently to the German system.
Applying for dual citizenship: Since 2024, it has been easier for Germans to obtain a second citizenship. In order to obtain French citizenship, you need complete documentation of your life history - all in a certified French translation.

Special features of the translation between French and German
Although French and German are both European languages, there are some challenges when translating in both directions:
1. different sentence structure
In French, the verb is often placed earlier in the sentence than in German. German also has a more complex sentence structure with subordinate clauses. A good translator takes care to keep the sentence flow natural in both languages.
2. false friends
Some words sound similar in both languages, but have different meanings. For example:
- le bras (French: arm) ≠ Bras (German: BH)
- la note (French: bill or note) ≠ Note (German: only school grade)
- demander (French: to ask) ≠ demandieren (German: to demand)
3. cultural differences
Some concepts exist in one culture but not in another. An experienced translator will find suitable solutions to bridge these differences. Examples include the German dual education system or the French Baccalauréat.
4. technical terminology
In areas such as law, medicine or technology, there are often specific technical terms that require a precise translation. Our technical translators specialize in these areas and guarantee accurate translations in both directions.
5. formal salutation
Both languages have formal and informal forms of address, but their use can differ. A good translator chooses the appropriate form for the context.
