In the art of translation, good translations are only as good as their source texts. The quality of the source text is the foundation for a first-class translation. This applies not only to the content of the text, but also to the consistent use of uniform terminology throughout the entire corporate cycle, from research and development to marketing and sales. Formal aspects also play a decisive role.
