Germany has developed a very sophisticated service sector centred on the development of IT software and the internet predominantly for business clients. The key demand driver has been to support Germany’s pre-eminence in manufacturing: car companies such as BMW, Mercedes and VW, the heavy engineering sector for example Bayer and Siemens, home equipment manufacturer Bosch and then there is the all-pervading entrepreneurial middle class – the “Mittelstand” comprising small and medium enterprises (“SME’s”). The two core requirements of manufacturing clients are Material Requirement Planning (“MRP”) and Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”).
Total Language Solutions translates all types of software and internet-based material into or out of Germany. Written modern German is highly standardised; Duden is the acknowledged authority on orthography and punctuation, and occasional updates are issued. There is some regional variation in spoken vocabulary between regions in Germany and elsewhere in Europe such as Switzerland, Luxembourg, the Czech republic, and bordering into Poland and Rumania and in the rest of the world, such as Chile, parts of Brazil around Espirito Santo, Iowa and Pennsylvanian in the USA and in small pockets in Africa. These variations can affect translation to some extent. The Swiss German dialect is generally only spoken, and seldom used in written form. Yiddish is considered a separate language.
Translation projects undertaken include web site content, sales and marketing material, documentation requirements for engineering and manufacturing into and out of German.
