Spanish to German translation, direct and native
The Spain-Germany trade corridor served by native German linguists working directly from Spanish: export documentation, contracts, websites and sworn translations.
A Spanish to German translation agency serves the Spain-Germany trade corridor with native German linguists working directly from Spanish, no English pivot step. Orion Translations has held Spanish-German as a core specialisation since 2009, covering export documentation, contracts, websites and MAEC-sworn translations in both directions.
A trade corridor deserves a direct pair
Germany is one of Spain’s largest trading partners, and the paperwork of that trade, technical files, distribution agreements, product content, moves constantly between the two languages. Generalist agencies often route it through English, adding a silent second translation with its own losses. We never do: our Spanish-German work is single-step, by design.
The pair is in this agency’s DNA: Spanish-German has been a house specialisation since our founding in Barcelona in 2009, alongside Spanish-English and Spanish-Dutch, with a linguist bench and terminology assets built over years of corridor work.

Sworn Spanish-German: the official layer
Subsidiary registrations, powers of attorney, civil documents and court material between the two countries need attested translation: MAEC-sworn for Spanish authorities, certified formats for German ones. Our sworn translation team covers the pair in both directions, including the apostille sequencing that trips up first-time filers.
The German family of services
English-speaking companies entering DACH use English to German; German firms going international, German to English. Meetings with German partners are interpreted through our business interpreters, from the same termbase as your documents.
Two economies, one direct language pair, since 2009.
