From our head office in Bielefeld, we offer our clients expertise in strategic consultation and are a full-service provider for their language and communications needs.
We offer services such as translation, machine translation with post-editing, interpreting, proofreading, editing, subtitling, dubbing, e-learning and SEO. We love creating perfect texts and finding the right words for our clients that are precise, accurately convey the content and are stylistically appropriate. We use the professional skills of more than 1,000 language experts from across the globe to provide services in over 40 languages. And we guarantee efficiency through our use of agile processes and state-of-the-art technologies.
We started our existence in 2006 as an internal language service for the Bertelsmann Group. We then began gaining initial experience in the agency industry as part of Medienfabrik GmbH (now Territory GmbH), before Sprachenfabrik GmbH was established as an independent agency for international communications in Bielefeld. From 2017 to 2021, we ran another location in Düsseldorf in order to be able to support a major client’s internal communication on site in Rhineland, who we now serve fully remotely from Bielefeld. Another location was established in Berlin in 2020.
Sprachenfabrik has been a proud member of the t’works Group since 2024.
Whether it’s a business report, website, journal article or user manual – an excellent translation doesn’t just have to communicate the content adequately, it also has to convey the right tone. We translate texts from a wide range of sectors, including marketing, PR, CSR, finance, law, HR, official communication with or from public authorities, technology and IT. And in over 40 languages.
Do you need large amounts of text translated in the shortest possible time? Using state-of-the-art translation tools in combination with artificial intelligence and machine learning allows an efficient processing of large volumes without having to compromise on quality. We will be happy to work with you to establish whether your texts are suitable for this.
Our proofreaders can check your texts according to professional criteria for spelling, punctuation, syntax and typography. In editing, we also check the content and improve the style and tone. This applies equally to German and foreign-language texts. On request, we can of course take your tone of voice and individual terminology into account to ensure that the text fits seamlessly into your other means of communication.
We standardise technical terms, designations and expressions in integrated terminology databases so we can ensure that a company’s entire communication is correct, clear and coherent.
Video formats have become an integral part of modern corporate communications. Production is often complex and comes at a cost. It therefore makes economic sense to distribute this premium content as widely as possible – internationally too. We support you in this process and dub and subtitle your videos for you in numerous languages. Existing texts are transcribed beforehand and translated if necessary.
Our interpreters provide simultaneous or consecutive interpreting as well as support for your international events – either on site or remotely. We can organise the right interpreters and interpreting equipment for your events with an international audience. Our professional interpreters have many years of experience, are reliable, absolutely trustworthy and extremely discreet.
Our team of project managers and language experts stand for linguistic quality, customer-oriented services and efficient processes. Our advice, personal support and close collaboration with our translators and other language experts offer you continuity and confidentiality for your projects.
