With ready-made sample text to adapt.
- 01
False friend
A word that sounds similar in two languages but means something different.
Example False friend of the week: the German word "Gift" doesn't mean a present, it means poison. We know traps like these well. #translation #language
- 02
Untranslatable
A word or idiom that only exists in one language.
Example How do you translate the German word "Feierabend"? Often not with one word, but with a whole feeling. That's exactly where good translation begins.

Certified translation explained
When you need one, in general terms and without any one country's legal details.
Example Authorities often ask for a certified translation of official documents. It's best to check with the office beforehand which form they need, and we're happy to help.
