Express translations in Fribourg
Regarding a possible express translation, in the event of the language combination English-German, we would like to ask you to arrange a possible delivery date in advance with our customer service, as this is the language combination that is most in demand. The same currently applies to the Italian-German translation and the French-German translation.
The city of our Fribourg translators
The city of our Fribourg translators has always been on the Swiss language border, but at the time of the city's foundation in the 12th century, German was the predominant language. Although German was the official language of the city until 1800, French gradually gained influence. This was favoured by industrialisation, which led to an influx of French-speaking immigrants. Since the political changes of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the German-speaking population has been a minority. Even in German, the city is often called "Fribourg" instead of the standard German "Freiburg", which helps to distinguish it from Freiburg im Breisgau on the edge of the Black Forest. Another explanation is that the city is called Frybùrg or Friburg in the local Alemannic-German dialect, from which the French name "Fribourg" was probably derived.
