“Ich bin ein Berliner” – President John F. Kennedy
When J.F.K. said he was a ‘Berliner’, some accused him of claiming to be a jelly doughnut. Whilst it’s a nice story, and indeed there is confection made in Berlin called a Berliner, within the context in which he spoke, he was bang on the money.
Expect German precision every time
German is a very precise language and it just goes to show how important it is to get it right.

As with all our language professionals, they only translate into their mother tongue. With our German translation services you can be assured that you’ll never be accused of making language ‘gaffes’.
