• German is spoken primarily in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
• It is an important language for global business, as German companies are prominent worldwide.
• Long multi-syllabic words are characteristic of German, so publishing is critical.
• Remember that translated texts can be up to 20% longer than the source English text!

German Typesetting

Typesetting in narrow text columns can be a challenge due to the many lengthy compound words in German.

Hyphenation must of course follow German and not English rules.
