The European Commission is one of the key institutions of the European Union. The main tasks of the European Commission are to propose EU legislation and the corresponding measures. The institution also monitors the extent to which its rules and measures are implemented. The diversity of the political areas covered by the European Commission is vast. Its fields of activity range from agriculture and social affairs, the economy, law and finance through to external relations and tourism.
A new EU directive in one of these areas is translated gradually into the 24 official EU languages and subsequently published. To select its translation service providers, the EU has defined its own tendering process. The EU performs extremely rigorous quality controls and only works with agencies and translators who meet these requirements continuously. This also involves regular evaluations of the service providers.
exact! has extensive experience of translating EU texts and ensuring that the language used is clear and comprehensible. During the 15 years that we have worked for the European Commission, we have translated a wealth of different text types from English into German, from high-profile texts and texts with a high degree of technical content through to complex legislation and legal drafts. The Directorate General for Translation (DGT), the internal languages division of the European Commission, confirmed our excellent translation services again in 2016.
We successfully met the high standards for translation quality. Our years of experience of translating for the EU has allowed us to reinforce our strength – engaging and getting to grips with new texts and subjects. This flexibility has become part of exact!’s arsenal of expertise.

ZF Friedrichshafen AG is represented in approximately 40 countries – and communicates in almost as many languages, both internally and externally. The company provides its employees with an innovative machine translation platform. This also grants them access to the company’s in-house terminology.
exact!’s task was to assess, organise, refine and complete this multilingual terminology – so that all users at ZF could have the confidence of always knowing exactly what concept was meant in any country.
Thanks to the overhauled terminology database, ZF employees now have a reliable resource at their disposal for the retrieval of verified terms both in their native language and others. This enables seamless communication while saving time, money – and headaches. Standardised language reduces the need for queries and helps avoid misunderstandings.
