About Betty Translation

A translation agency founded by a translator.

Betty Translation was started in 2017 in Heidenau, Saxony, by a German-English translator who had spent a decade watching clients get burned by agencies that treated language like a data processing problem.

The name is deliberate. Not a corporate abbreviation or a geography. A name that makes it clear this is a small, accountable team -- not a faceless platform.

Subject-matter matching

Every project goes to a translator with relevant field experience. A machinery manual does not go to a literary translator.

Confidentiality standard

NDAs with all translators. Secure transfer available. No use of public AI for confidential material.

Bilingual review

All output reviewed by a second linguist against the source. Not copy-editing. Bilingual accuracy review.

German market standards

We know DIN documentation standards, German legal formatting, and the expectations of German-speaking clients.

Client feedback

What clients say after delivery.

“The technical accuracy was exactly what we needed. Our internal engineers reviewed the output and had no corrections. That has never happened with any previous translation vendor.”
M. Hoffmann
Jenoptik AG
“The tasting notes came back sounding like they were written by someone who actually drinks wine. Not like they were translated. That matters a lot for how we present the winery abroad.”
K. Sonntag
Weingut Sonnenhang
“Court deadlines have no flexibility. They hit every date and all 180 documents were accepted by both courts without request for correction. Exactly what we needed.”
Dr. A. Brandt
Brandt und Partner
“We ran a competitive test before signing. Betty Translation came back with the cleanest output, the fastest turnaround, and the most transparent quote. We have been working with them for two years.”
T. Reinhardt
Dresdner Softwarehaus GmbH

01
Send your brief

Tell us what needs translating, the language pair, and the deadline. We confirm scope and rate the same day.

02

In-house review

A second German-native linguist reviews the complete output against the source document.

05

FAQ

Questions before the first project.

If your question is not listed, email hello@betty-translation.com and we answer the same day.

All questions

No. Our core is German-market translation, but we work across 45+ language pairs. German is where we have the deepest subject-matter specialist pool.

A certified (sworn) translation carries a signed statement by an officially recognised translator confirming accuracy. Required by German courts, the Standesamt, Auslanderbehorde, and many public authorities.

Most work is priced per source word. Audiovisual is per minute of content. Software localization projects are quoted by scope. All quotes are fixed before work starts.

We use MT-assisted workflows for high-volume standard content with human post-editing. Legal, sworn, and medical translations are done entirely by human translators. We disclose which method applies.

Standard projects complete in 3-6 business days. With the Fast-Track add-on, 24-hour delivery is available for most projects under 2,500 words. Urgent timing must be confirmed before payment.
