German Language Translation Services

The German language belongs to the West Germanic languages and is therefore related to English and German translation. There are approximately 120 million native speakers and around 80 million non-native speakers in the world.

The forming of the German language began from around the 6th century during the so called “migration period” in Europe, in which large numbers of people from various nations and tribes moved around Europe.

Old High German dialects separated from Old Saxon and further changes to the languages occurred over the following centuries. Only at the beginning of the 20^th century today’s standard German was officially established in writing and pronunciation.

Nowadays, German is one of the most widely spoken languages in Europe and the official language in Germany, Austria and Lichtenstein, and also one of the official languages in Switzerland and Luxembourg.
