Affinity Translation provides expert English-to-German and German-to-English translation services for all types of written material. Translation accuracy, on-time delivery, and competitive pricing are among the main criteria by which each Affinity Translation translation project is measured.

Translation Accuracy

Translation accuracy is critical to the success of every project no matter the size. All projects undergo initial translation followed by editing review(s) to ensure the highest quality (see translation process description below).

Affinity Translation translators rank among the most skilled and experienced native speaking linguists in the translation and localization industries. Despite some advancements in automated translation technologies, native speaking human translators remain the best approach for producing high quality translations.

Affinity Translation Standard

English <> German Translation Process

L1. Review and Preparation: Source material is reviewed to identify any special terminology; research is conducted and glossaries are created as needed.

L2. Initial Translation: Translation from the source to target language is conducted.

L3. Editing and Review: Text is reviewed and edited following initial translation.

L4. Final Proofing : A final proofreading is done to ensure the highest quality translation.

L5. Delivery and Approval: Translated text is provided to the client for approval.

Translation Pricing

Translation pricing is based on a per word rate determined by factoring in multiple project specific criteria including: 1) the nature (relative complexity) of the source material, 2) the scope of the project (measured in word-count), and 3) turnaround time (i.e., rush vs. standard turnaround time).

Translation Process Schedule/Turnaround Time

We recognize that translation project schedules can be critical considerations. Actual project durations vary depending on the scope and complexity of each project. We work closely with our clients to determine project schedules that allow sufficient time for high quality translation processes and project delivery in a timely manner.

Areas of Specialization

Most professional translators have areas of specialization according to their backgrounds, education, personal interests, etc. Our pledge is to assign translators, editors and reviewers that specialize in and are qualified to support the specific requirements of a given translation project. Assuring the optimal match between translator(s) and projects not only ensures high quality translations but also promotes efficiency, thereby keeping costs as low as possible. Affinity Translation has translation specialists available to support projects across a broad spectrum of subject areas and topics.

About the German Language

German is a West Germanic language, thus related to and classified alongside English and Dutch. It is one of the world's major languages and the most widely spoken first language in the European Union. Around the world, German is spoken by approximately 105 million native speakers and also by about 80 million non-native speakers. Standard German is widely taught in schools, universities and Goethe Institutes worldwide. It is overall the third most learned language worldwide.

German is spoken primarily in Germany (first language for more than 95% of the population), Austria (89%) and Switzerland (65%). The majority of the small population of Liechtenstein also speaks German.

Other European German-speaking communities are found in Northern Italy (in the Province of Bolzano-Bozen and in some municipalities in other provinces), in the East Cantons of Belgium, in the French Alsace region which often was traded between Germany and France in history and in some border villages of the former South Jutland County (in German, Nordschleswig, in Danish, Sønderjylland) of Denmark.

Some German-speaking communities can still be found in parts of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and above all Russia and Kazakhstan, although forced expulsions after World War II and massive emigration to Germany in the 1980s and 1990s have depopulated most of these communities. It is also spoken by German-speaking foreign populations and some of their descendants in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Egypt, Greece, Israel, Italy, Morocco, Netherlands, Portugal, Scandinavia, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the former Yugoslavia (Bosnia, Serbia, Macedonia, Croatia and Slovenia).

About Houston
Houston is the fourth-largest city in the United States and the largest city in the state of Texas. As of the 2008 U.S. Census estimate, the city has a population of 2.2 million within an area of 600 square miles (1,600 km2). Located in the American South, Houston is the seat of Harris County and the economic center of the Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown metropolitan area—the sixth-largest metropolitan area in the U.S. with a population over 5.7 million.

Houston was founded on August 30, 1836, by brothers Augustus Chapman Allen and John Kirby Allen on land near the banks of Buffalo Bayou. The city was incorporated on June 5, 1837, and named after then-President of the Republic of Texas—former General Sam Houston—who had commanded at the Battle of San Jacinto, which took place 25 miles (40 km) east of where the city was established. The burgeoning port and railroad industry, combined with oil discovery in 1901, has induced continual surges in the city's population. In the mid-twentieth century, Houston became the home of the Texas Medical Center—the world's largest concentration of healthcare and research institutions—and NASA's Johnson Space Center, where the Mission Control Center is located.

Rated as a beta world city, Houston's economy has a broad industrial base in the energy, manufacturing, aeronautics, transportation, and health care sectors and is a leading center for building oilfield equipment; only New York City is home to more Fortune 500 headquarters in the city limits. The Port of Houston ranks first in the United States in international waterborne tonnage handled and second in total cargo tonnage handled. The city has a population from various ethnic and religious backgrounds and a large and growing international community. It is home to many cultural institutions and exhibits—attracting more than 7 million visitors a year to the Houston Museum District. Houston has an active visual and performing arts scene in the Theater District and is one of few U.S. cities that offer year-round resident companies in all major performing arts.
