KERN Global Language Services, one of the leading providers of global language management, is now a listed language service provider for DIRK (German Investor Relations Association). As a partner of the largest European association for investor relations, KERN thus underscores its commitment to the highest quality and industry proximity in financial communication.
With its dedicated competence center for finance, KERN offers specialized language services for complex capital market communication. Experienced project managers with industry know-how and certified specialist translators guarantee a consistent, precisely tailored adaptation of content into the desired target languages – from the initial coordination to the final quality control. The service portfolio includes, among other things, translations of annual and financial reports, ESG-compliant content, foreign language desktop publishing including print management, as well as professional interpreting for conferences, annual general meetings, and meetings. Whether precise financial terminology or stylistically convincing texts: KERN ensures consistent, precisely tailored adaptation in the target language.
What distinguishes KERN is the combination of linguistic excellence with finance-specific competence: IR-experienced project management, a flexible network of certified translators, the targeted development and maintenance of finance-specific terminology databases (e.g., IFRS, ESRS, HGB), and seamless integration into reporting and disclosure processes. KERN works routinely with all common file formats and systems – including Workiva, SAP, Firesys, and SmartNotes.
Thus, KERN supports companies in positioning their messages clearly and consistently in international markets. Thanks to comprehensive regulatory expertise and certified quality assurance, KERN meets the high requirements of listed companies and financial service providers.
“Professional language services are an integral part of successful financial communication – whether in regulatory documents, investor updates, or multilingual ESG reports,” explains Dr. Thomas Kern, member of the Management Board of KERN Global Language Services. “With our competence center for finance, we offer a specialized solution that is tailored exactly to the requirements of financial service providers, issuers, and IR departments. Our strength lies in the combination of industry-experienced specialist translation in all world languages and ISO-certified quality. In this way, we ensure that financial content is communicated globally in a consistent, compliant, and linguistically precise manner. As a listed language service provider for DIRK, we see it as our task to support the IR community with reliable, scalable, and technologically leading solutions in global language management – for financial communication that builds trust, reaches international markets, and meets the digital demands of the industry.”
KERN Global Language Services looks forward to actively helping shape the exchange within the association and contributing its linguistic expertise to future events, specialist groups, and training offers of the DIRK.
