Luxembourgish interpreting and translation

Luxembourgish interpreting alongside French and German

Most Luxembourgish speakers also speak French and German, and often English, so interpreting is usually requested when someone wishes to use Luxembourgish: at public meetings, cultural events, in the media, or in sensitive personal conversations. In many professional settings French or German may be the expected language, so we ask the client which they prefer and can supply interpreters for all three.

Video and telephone interpreting are practical wherever the client is based, with video through the SILA Linguists® app or your platform and telephone interpreting available at any hour. For finance, banking and legal teams we provide consecutive and simultaneous interpreting, including remote simultaneous interpreting, for board meetings, fund launches and conferences in Luxembourg's multilingual business setting.

Translation across Luxembourg's three languages

Official documents in Luxembourg are often in French or German, so translation projects may involve all three languages, and our team handles them together. Luxembourgish texts follow the current official spelling rules and use ä, é and ë correctly. Public information, marketing, cultural material and community communication are common reasons to translate into Luxembourgish, and we localise websites and campaigns for Luxembourg audiences.

For citizenship and residence matters, and for finance and legal work, we provide certified translations of civil records, corporate documents, contracts and court papers, with a signed statement of accuracy and completeness, accepted by tribunals, recruiters and other UK authorities. For use in Luxembourg, check whether a translation by a sworn translator there is required. AI-assisted translation with human post-editing is available for high-volume financial documentation.

Luxembourgish transcription and subtitling

Radio, television and online media in Luxembourgish are transcribed with time codes and translated into English, French or German, and we subtitle films, documentaries and public information videos.
