Based in the International Office, the translation coordinator supports the administration and the schools of the University of Oldenburg in providing English-language content for websites and publications. By checking and storing the texts centrally, we aim to ensure the terminology used on the website and in documents relevant to international university members and students is consistent. The translation coordinator uses external translators, preferably the team of the Language Centre of the University of Groningen. The translations supplied are stored bilingually in a full-text database so that they can be reused if necessary and the consistency of the terminology used can be checked as needed. The translation coordinator checks the translations supplied by our partners for compliance with UOL terminology.

Commissioning and paying for translations

There is a limited annual budget for this. Simply send us an e-mail with the text to be translated in a text file (e.g. Word, Open Office, ...). We will inform you whether your order can be financed through the budget and if not, we will provide an estimate.
