One does not simply translate a style guide
„Do you already have a German style guide and TOV document?“, I asked a potential client.
„No, but I can send you the English ones. Can‘t you just translate them?“
No. Well yes, I could of course. But it doesn’t make sense and would be a waste of time and money.

Translation is like pizza
When you are craving carbs and melted cheese after a long day, putting a frozen pizza in the oven might be good enough. Just like a machine translation might be good enough if you just want to get the gist of what a text is about. Over time, you will find out which brand or tool works best for you.
