Professional German translation for engineering, automotive and legal sectors
Request a Free QuoteGermany is Portugal's largest trading partner in the European Union, and German is one of the most requested languages for technical, legal and commercial translation. For Portuguese companies exporting to Germany, Austria or Switzerland — or German companies investing in Portugal — professional German translation is indispensable.
M21Global offers comprehensive German translation services with native translators specialised in engineering, automotive, chemical and legal sectors. Our ISO 17100 certification ensures audited processes and reproducible quality in every project.
M21Global's German translation services cover the full range of business and personal needs. From technical translation of engineering manuals, industrial specifications and safety data sheets to legal translation of commercial contracts, distribution agreements and compliance documentation.
We also offer financial translation of annual reports and banking documentation, medical and scientific translation of articles, protocols and regulatory documentation, and business translation of corporate communications, presentations and marketing materials.
Every translation follows the TEP process audited according to ISO 17100: translation by a native speaker, independent review and final formatting and terminology check. For recurring or high-volume projects, we assign a dedicated project manager who coordinates teams, glossaries and translation memories.
Our German translators are native speakers — from Germany, Austria or Switzerland — with higher education in translation, engineering, law or sciences. Each professional specialises in one or two sectors, ensuring mastery of the terminology, conventions and register appropriate for the target audience.
For projects requiring Swiss German (Schweizerhochdeutsch) or Austrian German, we select translators from these regions. The differences may seem subtle — an Austrian "Paradeiser" instead of "Tomate", for example — but they are crucial for text credibility with the local audience.
M21Global's continuous evaluation programme monitors each translator's quality over time, ensuring that excellence is consistent and not left to chance. Visit the Native Translators page to meet our team.
M21Global provides certified German translation, authenticated according to the destination entity's requirements: lawyer, notary or sworn translator (beglaubigter Übersetzer), depending on the country.
Frequently translated documents with certification include: birth, marriage and death certificates, diplomas and academic certificates, powers of attorney, employment contracts, immigration documentation and criminal records. For each document, we verify formal requirements before starting — Apostille, consular authentication, format — to ensure the translation is accepted without returns.
The combination of specialised native translators, independent review and ISO 17100 certification ensures that every certified German translation reaches the level of rigour and formality required.
German translation at M21Global focuses on five sectors where terminological precision is critical:
Engineering and Industry: technical manuals, product specifications, safety data sheets (SDS), quality documentation and industrial standards. Our translators combine engineering knowledge with mastery of technical German.
Automotive: documentation for OEMs and suppliers — technical data sheets, assembly manuals, component specifications and after-sales communication. Germany is the world leader in the automotive sector, and our service matches that demand.
Chemical and Pharmaceutical: safety data sheets, regulatory documentation, patents and scientific papers. Translators with chemistry or pharmacy training ensure compliance with REACH and GHS regulations.
Legal: commercial contracts, distribution agreements, corporate documentation and court documents for German, Austrian or Swiss courts. See legal translation.
Technology: software localisation, product documentation, knowledge bases and interfaces for the DACH market (Germany, Austria, Switzerland).

The price depends on document type, volume, language pair, urgency and technical complexity. Technical and legal translations have a slightly higher value than general content, reflecting translator specialisation. Translation memories reduce the cost of repetitive content.
