Frequently asked questions before getting in touch
Is this an advertised permanent position?
No. The focus is on freelance, project-based collaboration and language partnerships. Contacting us does not constitute an offer of employment or create any entitlement to assignments.
What information should I include in my profile?
It helps to include your language pairs, subject areas, qualifications, previous experience, where you can work, availability and contact details. Please do not send sensitive original documents at this stage.
Do I need to be an authorised translator or generally sworn interpreter?
That depends on the service. Certain certified translations or court assignments require the relevant qualifications. Different professional credentials may be relevant to other projects.
Can I contact you about a language that is not yet listed on the website?
Yes. Other language pairs may also be of interest. ABBA-Sprachendienste considers each case individually to see whether there is a suitable need and a basis for reliable professional collaboration.
Would you like to introduce yourself?
First send the essential details about your languages, subject areas, qualifications and availability for assignments. We will discuss any additional documents if needed.
