Can my administrative assistant, who speaks English and German, translate my marketing and sales literature into German?
What you want to ask yourself is “Would you use your administrative assistant to write your marketing and sales literature?” Typically, a company will use highly trained marketing writers to write marketing materials because they have the specific training for these projects. Professional translators have the training to maintain the carefully crafted messages. You may want to consider using your administrative assistant for gist translations on documents, but save the important translations for a professional translator.
