In an era where digital accessibility is paramount, we partnered with the Saalburg Roman Fort Museum and Keltenwelt am Glauberg to extend their reach to international visitors. Both institutions are cornerstones of Germany’s rich archaeological heritage, showcasing Roman and Celtic history through extensive collections and immersive exhibitions.
Leveraging our unique combination of technological expertise and archaeological background, we undertook the comprehensive translation of both museums’ entire websites and digital collections from German to English. This endeavor ensured accurate, engaging, and contextually appropriate translations, preserving the integrity and richness of the original content while making it accessible to a global audience.
