Translation Agency Dortmund

Dortmund is a traditional Ruhr metropolis that has impressively transformed itself from an industrial city into a modern center for technology, science and culture. As an important business location with an international focus – particularly in logistics, IT, mechanical engineering and research – English plays a central role as the global language of communication and work in companies, universities and start-ups.

Dortmund’s linguistic diversity reflects the region’s long history of migration. Turkish and Kurdish have been firmly established in the city since the 1960s and shape social and cultural life in many neighborhoods. Russian is spoken in numerous families with a post-Soviet background. Arabic has gained importance due to immigration from Middle Eastern countries and is increasingly found in public life.

Polish is also well established in Dortmund due to historical labor migration and current mobility within the EU, particularly in the skilled trades, care,and logistics sectors. Ukrainian has become more prominent in recent years due to the refugee movements resulting from the war in Ukraine and is increasingly shaping the linguistic and social landscape of the city.
