Translations

When translations are required, the Language Centre cooperates with University Communications. If your faculty or institute requires a translation, please contact the staff at University Communications first.

If you are a student or employee of the university, our staff would be happy to help you with any small translating problems you have (e.g. in applications), provided that you come during office hours and the translation work takes no longer than one hour to complete. If several people wish to speak with an instructor during office hours, then the time available for translations decreases accordingly.

If you need help with German or English for an academic or research task, you can receive assistance from our staff at the Consultation Sessions. The Language Centre cannot provide any services that go above and beyond that, which include, e.g. issuing certified translations of certificates, translating presentations, lectures, essays, etc. If you require a professional translation, we recommend visiting the website of the Federal Association of Interpreters and Translators (BDÜ) to help you find a qualified translator in your area.

The Language Centre does not offer any translation services to people or institutions with no affiliation with the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. We recommend visiting the database of the Federal Association of Interpreters and Translators (BDÜ) to find a qualified translator in your area.
