Looking to translate a cover letter or CV? Translating application documents requires an in-depth understanding of cultural differences and formal requirements that vary from country to country. A resume that works well in Germany may fall short in the US or Japan. Our specialized translators are aware of these nuances, ensuring your CV meets both linguistic and formal international standards. From layout to emphasis on relevant points, we factor in national specifics to showcase your qualifications effectively. Rely on us to make sure your application hits all the right notes.
The cover letter, too, needs to be adapted to the target culture. In many countries, a personal touch is key, whereas others focus more on precise presentation of professional qualifications. Our translation service guarantees that your cover letter, both in content and style, meets local hiring expectations. Each translation is handled by specialized translators who understand not just the language but also the respective industry. This ensures professional and persuasive communication worldwide.

Succeed in Any Language
Translating resumes and cover letters calls for more than linguistic accuracy. In countries like Germany, employers expect detailed CVs and a formal approach, while the US market is achievement- and soft-skill-focused. Our CV translators tailor your application materials to the specific expectations in each country, ensuring your application stands out no matter the language.
In Japan and China, hierarchy and formal politeness take center stage. A Japanese cover letter must follow the Rirekisho format and use modest language, whereas Chinese letters often emphasize career status, educational background, and networks (Guanxi). Mistakes in formality or tone can be considered disrespectful. With Dialecta, your cover letter is not only linguistically correct but also culturally on point.
In France, a more personal style is often appreciated, emphasizing individual motivation and values, while in the UK, clarity, brevity, and a concise display of skills are paramount. Especially in creative fields, French recruiters may welcome a less formal, more imaginative approach, whereas in Britain, a cover letter that's overly personal can appear unprofessional. We ensure your cover letters strike the right chord—whether applying to creative roles or top-level managerial positions.
