In short
One directory, 78 languages, each with its own specialist page.
Below is every language the FÜD translates on a dedicated page — into German for authorities, courts and registry offices, and into English for international employers, universities and business partners. Each page names the typical documents, the regional variety we ask about first, and a realistic price range.
For certificates and official documents, a court-authorised, sworn translator issues the certification statement. For business, technical or academic material, a professional translation by a native speaker of the field is usually enough — we tell you which you need before you order.

The nine languages we translate most often.
These cover the bulk of what crosses our desk — from EU trade and family documents to the languages most represented among people living in Germany. The full list, including every rarer language, follows below.

Italian
Standard and Swiss Italian, the correct administrative register, for certificates, contracts and business documents.
Turkish

How we work
What holds across all 78 languages.
Different alphabets, grammars and administrative traditions — the same process underneath. Six things we settle before a single word is translated.
Native speakers, per language
Every language is assigned a native-speaker translator, not a generalist working from a dictionary — decisive for idiom, register and names.
Regional variety fixed in advance
European vs. Latin American Spanish, Brazilian vs. European Portuguese, simplified vs. traditional Chinese — the target market decides, and we ask before we start.
Script, dates & names handled correctly
Cyrillic, Arabic and Hebrew script, non-Gregorian calendars, and names transliterated exactly as they appear in your passport — checked, not guessed.
Certified where the law requires it
For authorities and courts, a court-authorised, sworn translator issues the certification statement — recognised nationwide, in every language we offer it for.
DIN EN ISO 17100 process
Revision by a second qualified person, in every language, on every commission — not only for the major world languages.
Terminology kept consistent
Client-owned term bases and translation memories keep names and terms identical across every document and every year, per language pair.
Certified per language
Certified translation — in practically every language.
Official documents do not need just any translator, but a certified translation carrying a certification statement.
For documents intended for authorities, registry offices and courts, a court-authorised translator (in German ermächtigter Übersetzer) issues the certified translation with the certification statement. It is recognised nationwide — and applies to the large majority of the languages listed above, from Albanian to Vietnamese. Where a language pair is genuinely scarce, availability rather than price is the limiting factor; we check and confirm before we name a date.
If the receiving country requires an apostille, it authenticates the German original, not the translation, and it never comes from us: for court and notarial documents it is issued by the President of the Regional Court, for civil-status and administrative records by the competent state authority (in Berlin, for instance, the LABO). Tell us the destination country and we say whether one is needed, in which order to obtain it, and deliver the translation in the form the receiving body accepts. See also: what a certified translation costs.
78 languages, one standard: a native specialist, not the nearest generalist.
Whichever language you need, the same DIN EN ISO 17100 process and the same binding fixed price apply — from the most requested language to the rarest.
Price & fixed price
One fixed price — before the commission, in every language.
Language, volume, direction, field and deadline determine the line price; translation memories make repetitions cheaper.

As a guide: professional translation from € 0.89 / standard line, certified translations of certificates usually as a fixed per-document fee. Rare languages depend on translator availability rather than price — we confirm this before naming a date. Full price overview · Upload a document for a fixed-price quote →
One principle, every language
Why clients bring their rarest languages to us.
For every language and every field we assign a native-speaker specialist, hold terminology steady through client-owned translation memories, and — where an authority requires it — certify at a binding fixed price including delivery. You get a translation that reads as though it were written in the target language and is accepted by the body it is addressed to: one supplier, one contact, one commitment. See our references →
We needed a birth certificate translated from Tigrinya into German at short notice — most agencies could not name a translator. FÜD confirmed availability the same day and delivered with the certification note within the promised deadline.
