ATS covers a wide range of subjects and disciplines

The Subject Areas ATS Covers

At Amper Translation Service we translate and edit texts concerned with a wide range of disciplines. In general, these fall into one of six categories:

If you click on a particular category, the subject areas related to it will appear. (These are just the most frequent ones I get.)

Please bear in mind that the categories overlap to a certain extent; marketing texts, for example, can describe the merits of technical devices, while legal documents like contracts can regulate sales matters. Take a look at all of the categories to get an idea of our overall scope.

N.B.: ATS does not translate official certificates or declarations of any kind.
Please contact a sworn translator if you require such a document to be translated. Some of these specially qualified translators are members of the BDÜ, which I also belong to.

Our main subject areas are marked in orange.

Software localisation

Besides conventional types of texts that are generally intended for printing or for internal use, we also translate user interfaces and text strings that appear in software applications and devices such as modern telephones.

This is known as "localisation", which implies adaptation to the needs of users in a specific country or region, and not just straightforward translation. Software localisation often entails the expert use of special translation tools.

Ask me for a quotation for the localisation of your company's software application and I'll make you an offer to suit your needs.
