This year, after months of preparation and hard work, Sprachen Koll achieved ISO 17100 certification. But what does that actually mean, and how does it benefit your as our client?
ISO is an international organisation that develops and publishes international standards (read more about them here). Essentially, it’s a set of best practices on the most effective way to do something, covering both technical and nontechnical fields. When it comes to translations, ISO 17100 ensures that you can order a translation with confidence, knowing it will be handled by qualified professionals, with secure processes, and without risk of errors or data breaches.
ISO certification is something companies pursue for their clients - it’s for your benefit.

Imagine sitting in a courtroom in Austria and not understanding a single word. It is a daunting thought. This is precisely where a court interpreter in Austria plays a vital role. Court interpreters ensure that all parties involved in legal proceedings can communicate accurately and fairly, regardless of language barriers.
As Wilhelm von Humboldt once said, “Language is the key to the world.” In legal settings, court interpreters embody this principle. They act as the crucial link between judges, lawyers, public authorities and private individuals, ensuring trust, clarity and legally sound communication at all times.
