German editing and proofreading
You have texts that need to be proofread in double-quick time and to the highest standard? The 33 members of our in-house team are experienced advertising editors, proofreaders and organisational pros who know what needs to be done. And a friendly service comes at no extra charge!
Translation
You need a catchy translation of an annual report, an orthotics catalogue or cat-litter packaging? We have a pool of qualified, professional translators covering 51 languages, all native speakers, who get the job done fast.
Foreign-language editing and proofreading
You’ve had texts delivered from Porto, Pisa and Pieksämäki, but what about the typos? Line wraps? Typography? Our eagle-eyed native speakers make the necessary corrections. Fast, but accurately.
PLAY IT SAFE
Better to have an external proofread than to have a typo in your ad. That’s a simple rule of thumb – and why we’re here. We edit and proofread your German and foreign-language texts quickly and proficiently. Or we can translate them for you. We see ourselves as your friendly and professional partner. That’s why we work on demand and without any bureaucratic hurdles, as if we were sitting in the room next door.
Whether print, web or e-mail – we have the tools to work in any format. But for us, a comprehensive, all-round service means more: we work according to our TÜV-certified QM system, which has only one objective – convinced and happy customers.
The Fries family: fast, unbureaucratic and professional.
That’s a promise!
Yours,
Anne Fries

Client testimonials
Many thanks, you were a great help – and fast and professional as usual.
You surprised us and our advertising agency with the super-fast translation. Many thanks for the different suggestions for the advertising slogans. We will gladly come back to you with future translations.
Error-free work (even though we needed a fast turnaround once again); friendly, competent and efficient team; internalisation of client wording – thank you for the many years of collaboration.
Anne Fries and Chiari Markenkommunikation share the same passion: a love of language and meticulous attention to detail. For this reason we have worked with the Anne Fries team for more than ten years – it is always a pleasure and we are always extremely satisfied.
Thank you as always for your fast and reliable delivery. It’s a good feeling, especially in the current stressful end stage.
Many thanks for the diligent proofread and to you and your team for always doing such a great job!
Our Spanish colleague was really impressed with your translation: “Please tell your translator we have no complaints; great translation!!!” I wanted to share this compliment with you.
Thank you for your support. Your precision and the large number of mistakes you found were a little demoralising at first – but ultimately we were thrilled!
