Translation for Outdoor and Mountain Sports Brands German to Spanish
Outdoor and mountain sports communication only works when the language comes from the sport itself. Translate „Sicherungsgerät“ word for word without knowing that Spanish-speaking climbers say „aseguradora“ and you’ve lost the reader in the first sentence. I translate for outdoor and climbing equipment manufacturers, mountain sports media and brands, from German, English and French into Spanish. Among my regular clients are companies such as Edelrid (Isny), for whom I translate product communication, subtitles and brand content for the Spanish-speaking market.
A sector with its own language
Climbing, mountaineering, ski touring, trail running, bouldering and via ferrata have developed their own vocabulary in Spain and Latin America that doesn’t emerge from word-for-word translation. Regional differences between European and Latin American Spanish add further complexity.
What I translate
- Product descriptions and online shop content for climbing and outdoor gear
- User manuals and safety information for PPE (EU Regulation 2016/425)
- Subtitles and voice-over scripts for corporate, product and sports videos
- Brand websites and landing pages
- Catalogues, brochures and magazine articles
- Training materials for distributors and athletes
What you get from me
- Real terminology from the sport, not from the dictionary
- Regional adaptation to European Spanish or to a specific Latin American variant
- Consistent brand voice through client-specific glossaries and style guides
- Experience with mandatory PPE information (EN 12277, EN 892, EN 565)
