About us

Welcome to benchmark lct, your specialists for professional English, German and French language solutions in Berlin and Hamburg, Germany, and Basel, Switzerland.

Language

A language is not just words. It’s a culture, a tradition, a unification of a community, a whole history that creates what a community is. It’s all embodied in a language.

Communication

Communication is the art of adapting messages for different situations, different environments, different audiences and different purposes.

Translation

A good translation transfers conceptual knowledge from one language into another with faithfulness and accuracy. It goes far beyond a simplistic word-for-word exchange.
