Founded by Carol Hogg in Osnabrück in 1985 , Hogg Translations is a professional translation office with experience spanning almost four decades.

With various other passion projects requiring her attention and knowing she had a capable team to continue running a tight ship, Carol passed ownership of the business to Martina Huckschlag in October 2022, nevertheless staying integrally involved in the workflow. Martina, in turn, passed the reins to Christopher Archer with effect from January 2025 after making her triumphant return to academia.

Our passion is providing you and your business with translations of the highest quality – on time and on budget. Chris, Carol and Martina continue to work together on projects in our core language pairs EN-DE, DE-EN, FR-DE and FR-EN, and we maintain a comprehensive network of trusted colleagues to offer a wider variety of language services.

Translation is an art. If you want a text to sing, AI won’t do the trick. Critical attention to detail, thinking outside the box, tailoring copy to various target markets and audiences as well as the ability to examine texts in context and approach them accordingly is what sets us apart.

In addition to our specialist fields, we offer translations of visa documents, IDs, testimonials, school/university reports, brochures, poems, books and much more. Carol and Martina are both certified by the County Court of Hanover; Carol is also certified to provide German-English interpretation services.

Whether you wish to expand your business and become a leader on the global market or you simply require a personal document translated – think Hogg Translations. Don’t hesitate to get in touch! We look forward to working with you.
