Getting your bearings
What ATS can offer you
If you need a translation to be done and it has to be done well, then you'll need a professional linguist to help you ...
- someone who speaks the target language perfectly (and is highly proficient at writing it as well)
- someone who's familiar with the subject matter
- ... and someone who also knows what style to use to address your audience appropriately (just like the person who wrote the original document).
This is where Amper Translation Service comes in handy. ATS is a translation and proofreading agency based in the south of Germany with an international network of professional translators and editors at its disposal, all of whom translate texts into their mother tongue(s).
Having worked in the translation industry for a number of years, we are all familiar with a broad range of subjects. Each member of our team also has specialist knowledge of at least one of the fields we cover.
It's this combination of knowledge and skills that enables ATS to produce high-quality translations and well-edited texts.

Finally, some general information about the cost of our language services is provided on this page. Please request a quotation if you have a specific assignment in mind as our rates vary.

Getting in touch with us
To get in touch with ATS quickly, you can send us an e-mail or fax or just try POTS (telecoms jargon for "plain old telephone service"!) - you'll find the details you need on our Contact page.
This section also includes our postal address, which you'll need if you want to send us a text for a quotation.
Sending us work to translate
If the text you want to have translated is already available as an electronic file, please e-mail it to us or send it to ATS on a floppy disk or CD-ROM. This will make it much easier for our staff to measure the file in question and make you a quote quickly. We can process a variety of file formats.
Having a text in an electronic form is also convenient for our translators, as all they need to do is make a digital copy of the file and overwrite the copy in their own language.
This is often faster than creating a new document from scratch and also means the translation will have exactly the same appearance as the original text.
These factors all serve to increase our turnaround rate and shorten the length of the project for you.
