A number of secretaries at MGMT offer proofreading and translation of texts:
If you require proofreading or translation services, you should always book time with a secretary at the earliest time possible, preferably as soon as you know about the assignment. If it is not possible for the secretaries to help you, you can use an external proofreader/translator (see below menu).
GlobalDenmark declared bankrupt and can no longer provide translation services to AU
Our translation provider GlobalDenmark was declared bankrupt on March 10, 2025, and their activities have ceased, including the provision of translation services to AU under the four-year framework agreement entered into on April 1, 2023. In collaboration with the procurement department, we are now working intensively to find a new provider that meets our requirements for quality, price, and reliability.
In the meantime, we offer limited Danish-English language services to all units at the faculties that normally use the framework agreement with GlobalDenmark. Please note:
If you have ordered a translation from Global Denmark that you have not received, please contact us immediately - we are here to help.
Please send any translation requests or questions to sprogservice@au.dk
An agreement has been made between AU and Amesto Translations to provide students and staff with certified translations of official documents. This may be relevant to staff and students in relation to research stays abroad – and to foreign students and staff during their stay in Denmark.
A ’one-stop-shop’ solution has been agreed upon and according to this Amesto will handle the entire process (translation, certification, legalisation and apostille endorsement).
Please note that this service is not free, but Amesto offers special low prices to staff and students.
