What do we mean by literary translation?

Literary translation is the translation of fiction texts (novels, short stories, tales), poetry, theatre, essays or even texts from the humanities (philosophy, psychology, psychoanalysis, sociology, musicology, history, anthropolgy, social sciences, art in general, etc.). Far too often, literary translation jobs are still sent to amateurs with no quality control systems. Our translation agency offers quality translators who have been previously examined by us and who are subject to rigorous quality control.

Translations closely adapted to your needs

At Berlin Translate, your specific criteria such as style adaptation to a certain audience, respecting an edition format, etc. are taken into account by our translators thanks to reliable communication between you, our agency and the translator. Moreover, if the author of the original text wishes to be informed of the translation, a clause in the contract will be devoted to this point. Indeed, at Berlin Translate, we take care of your cultural texts’ translations.
