Luxembourg as a business location
Specialist translation: finance, law & technology.
A leading financial centre, an EU institutional seat and a multilingual crossroads – Luxembourg and the Greater Region generate demanding translation needs. We assign the right specialist to every job.
Investment funds
For one of the world's largest fund domiciles: KIIDs/PRIIPs, fund documentation and marketing material in many languages.
EU institutions & law
Around the Court of Justice, the EIB and the institutions on Kirchberg: legal, procedural and policy texts – precise and terminologically consistent.
Insurance & ICT
For insurers and data-centre/ICT providers: policies, terms and conditions, technical and product documentation.
Logistics, steel & industry
Around ArcelorMittal and cross-border logistics: technical documentation, customs and export papers, contracts.
Certificates & official documents
For authorities on both sides of the border: sworn and certified certificates, records and register extracts.
Among the companies and institutions that have trusted us with translations and proofreading are Luxembourg-based names from the digital economy – Amazon, eBay, iTunes, PayPal and Rakuten – the satellite operator SES (SES Global), industrial groups such as Goodyear and ArcelorMittal, and EU institutions including the European Court of Justice, the European Court of Auditors, the European Investment Bank and the Secretariat of the European Parliament.
Languages
Translators in Luxembourg for 70+ languages – in the right variant.
We translate in both directions; every job goes to a native-speaker specialist who gets the right regional variant. The strongest demand in Luxembourg is for French, German, English, Luxembourgish, Portuguese and Italian.
Certification, sworn translation & apostille
Which certification does your Luxembourg document need?
Good to know – Luxembourg & the Greater Region
The right certification depends on where your document will be used. For submission to Luxembourg authorities, a translation sworn before the Luxembourg courts (traducteur assermenté) is usually required – translators listed by the Luxembourg Ministry of Justice; whether it is required in a given case is decided by the receiving body. For submission to German authorities, court-authorised translators produce certified translations, accepted throughout Germany on the basis of the certification note. A German certified translation is therefore not automatically accepted in Luxembourg, and vice versa – we tell you the right path in advance. Where an apostille is required, it belongs before the translation.
| Matter | Competent authority | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation for German authorities | Fachübersetzungsdienst Luxembourg Court-authorised (sworn) translator – accepted nationwide in Germany | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany on the basis of the certification note. |
| Sworn translation for Luxembourg authorities | Traducteur assermenté, sworn before the Luxembourg courts; list held by the Ministry of Justice | Whether a Luxembourg-sworn version is required depends on the receiving body – we clarify the path and assign the right specialist. |
| Apostille / legalisation (Luxembourg documents) | Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs (Ministère des Affaires étrangères et européennes) | We tell you whether an apostille is needed and translate the apostille note. FÜD does not issue apostilles. |
| Civil-status documents (birth, marriage, death) | Registry office of the relevant Luxembourg commune (e.g. Ville de Luxembourg) | We translate the certificate; multilingual (international) certificates are available directly from the commune. |
| Recognition of foreign qualifications | Luxembourg Ministry of Education (MENJE) / competent recognition body | Certified or sworn translation for the procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
We tell you in advance which body is responsible for your document and which certification your destination requires – the apostille itself is issued by the competent authority, not by FÜD.

Cross-border
Luxembourg and the Greater Region.
Luxembourg is one of Europe's most multilingual places: French, German and Luxembourgish are the official languages, and English is the working language of much of the financial centre, the EU institutions on Kirchberg and international business. A defining feature is the cross-border workforce: around half of all employees commute in every day from Germany, France and Belgium. That mix creates constant demand for certified, sworn and specialist translations across many language pairs.
We serve the whole Greater Region across the border: clients in Trier and Saarbrücken in Germany, in Lorraine (France) and in Wallonia (Belgium) use the same digital route. For our German locations, see Locations.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about translations for Luxembourg.
Do you provide certified translations for Luxembourg?
For submission to German authorities we provide certified translations by court-authorised translators, accepted throughout Germany on the basis of the certification note – useful for the many Luxembourg-based clients who need documents recognised in Germany. Where a Luxembourg authority requires a translation sworn before the Luxembourg courts (traducteur assermenté), that depends on the receiving body; we clarify the correct path and assign the right specialist.
Which languages do you cover for Luxembourg?
Luxembourg's official languages are French, German and Luxembourgish, and English is widely used in business. We translate between these and over 70 languages in total, always by native-speaker specialists.
Do I have to come to an office in Luxembourg?
No. Most jobs run entirely online and by post; you can also hand over or collect originals at our Luxembourg office (76 Grand-Rue, L-1660 Luxembourg-Ville) by appointment: upload or send your document and we deliver the finished, sealed version digitally and across the border by post. An on-site appointment is only needed by arrangement.
Who issues the apostille for Luxembourg documents?
Not FÜD. Apostilles and legalisation for Luxembourg public documents are issued by the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs (Ministère des Affaires étrangères et européennes). We tell you in advance whether an apostille is needed and translate the apostille note along with it.
What does a translation for Luxembourg cost?
The price depends on length, subject area, language pair and deadline – for orientation, from €0.89 per standard line, standard certificates usually at a flat rate. After a quick review we quote a binding fixed price.
Can you handle cross-border projects in the Greater Region?
Yes. We serve clients in Luxembourg, in Trier and Saarbrücken (Germany), in Lorraine (France) and in Wallonia (Belgium) through the same digital order handling – with the right sworn or specialist translation for each destination.

Becoming a translator in Luxembourg?
The path into the profession is rarely a straight line: what counts is native-level language skill, sound subject expertise in a field such as law, finance or technology – and, for sworn translation in Luxembourg, admission as a traducteur assermenté before the Luxembourg courts. In a market built on French, German, Luxembourgish and English, multilingual profiles are in demand.
