Interpreting Services
2M's German interpreters have subject matter expertise in a range of industries to deliver high quality, precise interpretation services tailored onsite, over the phone or video remote requests.
Onsite German interpreting
2M on-site interpreters are here to help you bridge communication gaps, create connections and provide important information to German-speaking employees, audiences and customers.
Consecutive interpreting
Ideal for one-on-one conversations and small groups, 2M can provide German interpreters trained in consecutive interpreting to appear onsite. In consecutive interpreting, one party speaks and allows for a pause while the interpreter speaks. This cycle repeats throughout the duration of the conversation and enables clear communication between the interpreter and involved parties.
Simultaneous interpreting
Common at conferences, large-scale meetings and events, the interpreter and speaker talk simultaneously. In this case, parties can speak naturally without breaks or pauses.
Web Conferencing Platform
2M's web conference platform allows you to run multilingual meetings one-on-one or full-scale conferences and events in German. With professional German interpreters present in every virtual meeting, you can speak or present in your native language while your audience can engage in German, or any other language. Our platform supports two-way, uninterrupted meetings supported by simultaneous language interpretation.
Our multilingual web conferencing solutions are perfect for:
- Webinars
- Online training
- Online conferences
- Virtual meetings
- Stakeholder updates
- Company announcements
- Sales presentations
- Product demos
- Town Hall meetings
Powering precise multilingual communication through technology
Human-powered translators and interpreters lie at the heart of 2M's language service offering, but with considered application of language technologies, 2M can speed up translation delivery time, streamline workflows, provide the highest content security, and offer a range of virtual interpreting delivery modes. Trusted by 1000+ clients, we only use the best-of-breed language technologies to service our clients.
Machine translation
Our German translation service is supported by cleverly integrated AI-driven workflows to advance global content strategy. 2M uses next-generation machine translation in tandem with human translators to support large-volume German translations and cut costs.
Machine translation comes hand-in-hand with workflow automations, which improve productivity and help save on project management time. In today's interconnected and fast-paced world, we can simplify the translation process with clever automations that speed up the delivery time without compromising on quality.
Translation Memory
2M's Translation Memory (TM) operates to reduce your cost per project by identifying and applying text segments, sentences or paragraphs from your previous projects to new projects. Over time, the translation memory learns client-specific tone and terminology and suggests re-use if the word or phrase appears in the current project.
As a smart database, TM supports on-time delivery of projects by drastically reducing the manpower required to manually translate repeat content. By understanding each client's specific language and tonal preferences, TM improves the quality and consistency of translations.
On demand translation app
The 2M On Demand translation app is a testament to our modern agile translation services. As part of our German translation service, 2M On Demand allows you to translate short, urgent messages in record time. AI and Neural Machine Translation work collaboratively with the human linguist to improve productivity and support fast delivery of high quality output. On the 2M On Demand app, you can request short translations wherever you are to and from German, and many other languages.

FAQs
Yes. German is a language spoken in many different regions, and therefore there are many dialects. We take the time to understand your target market and purpose to ensure your content is appropriately and professionally localised. It's generally recommended to localise into 'hoch Deutsch' or 'high German', as the standard version of German. However, culturally what works in one part of Germany is not going to work in another, and we take this into account to make sure your content resonates.
For all languages, 2M only engages translators and interpreters with 3+ years working in the field. Many 2M translators and interpreters are also NAATI-certified or hold country-specific certifications. This enables us to provide the best-suited linguists for any assignment.
2M strictly only assigns subject matter experts for technically advanced jobs. This is to ensure your content is expertly handled with care.
