Your interpreter and translator in Luxembourg

Looking for a professional translator for the Italian and Swiss market, or an interpreter in Luxembourg and the surrounding area?

My name is Davide Cavanna, born and raised in Piedmont, in northwestern Italy, and I have been living in Luxembourg since 2013.

From Luxembourg I can easily travel to Germany, Belgium and France as a conference and business interpreter for meetings, fairs and negotiations. A sworn translator at the local Court of Justice as well as before the courts and notaries of Saarland, in Germany, I am a member of ALTI and can provide an all-round solution to your language headaches.

Do you really need a translation company? Go directly to the professionals! By avoiding middlemen, you will gain in human and economic terms. Thanks to my network of expert native colleagues, you can access the languages and expertise you need to communicate effectively.

Certified translations

Sworn translators in Luxembourg feature on a list published by the Ministry of Justice. We are entitled to certify accurate translations of official documents sealed with their stamp and signature. Before the local court I am currently sworn for Italian, French and German.
In Germany, sworn translators and interpreters who are officially authorised to translate and interpret between German and other languages are listed on the website Justiz-Dolmetscher. Personally, I am sworn at the regional court of Saarbrücken for Italian, French and English.

Among the documents requiring a sworn translation, for example, are procedural documents, notary deeds, administrative documents (marriage records, divorce deeds, birth certificates, diplomas, etc.). These translations can be presented to authorities in Luxembourg, in Germany as well as in third countries.

Business and
conference interpreting

There are three main types of interpreting

Liaison

For trade fairs, company audits and business meetings, this involves an interpreter working between two languages, acting as an intermediary between the parties.

Consecutive

This mode used at congresses and for presentations involves note-taking of 5-10 min speeches in language B that are then rendered in language A, right after the speaker is done.

Simultaneous

Best known from the EU and the UN, the interpreting booth provides seamless, real-time communication across language barriers. The interpreter listens to language B and recreates the message in language A at the same time, speaking in a microphone, and the audience listens through earphones.

About me

I am an Italian translator and interpreter focusing on economics, finance, law and marketing.

In Luxembourg I am a sworn translator for Italian, French and German at the Superior Court of Justice (Cour Supérieure de Justice), whereas in Germany I am sworn for English, Italian and French before the courts and the notaries of Saarland. I am also available as a conference and business interpreter across Germany (Trier, Saarbrücken, Mannheim, Frankfurt, Bonn, Cologne), France (Metz, Nancy, Strasbourg, Paris) and Belgium (Liège, Namur, Brussels).
