On 20 February 2016 I attended a seminar on “certified translation in Germany: civil registry, school and university certificates“. The business area of certified translation is an important component of my work, so I’m naturally interested in and even committed to broadening and improving my specialised knowledge in this area.
The seminar was organised by the German Federal Association of Translators and Interpreters (BDÜ) and took place in Frankfurt. It was presented by Dr. Radegundis Stolze, a court-certified translator in the state of Hesse.
