About Us

why vanilla?

why vanilla? can be summed up in three words:
  • Expertise
  • Experience
  • Excellence
We want you to shine through your text – which is why our work has to satisfy our most stringent demands and our translations are flawless in terms of content, language and style. The texts we produce are always to native speaker level.

Our Service

We care about your texts. We can translate and edit for you. Our working languages are Luxembourgish, German, English, French and Italian.

Our Name

Why vanilla? Because it’s spicy! In colloquial English vanilla means boring. A word sometimes associated with the work of the translator and to our mind, quite wrongly so. Because vanilla is a fascinating spice – at times unobtrusive, it discretely flavours food. And yet, for example a whole cake can explode with the taste of vanilla. And that’s how we feel about our work. We play with all the nuances of a language’s flavour and are virtuosos for variation. Translating is exactly to our taste!

Our Team

Our why vanilla? team has been very carefully selected. All our professional linguists have excellent academic credentials, many years of experience and a real feel for language. We are united by our passion for language. By paying meticulous attention, we always find the appropriate expression and accurate term. We check and compare every single translation within our team and then scrutinize it one last time. With this four-eye principle we can ensure the very highest quality.
