UK visitor visa from Germany - necessity of translating supporting documents

Good day to all,

I am an Indian citizen working and living in Germany, and would like to visit the UK for the Christmas holidays. My question is regarding the translation of the supporting documents. Since I live in Germany, all my documents are in German.

Of course, it would cost me an awful lot of money to translate all the documents from German to English. Hence, I would like to know if anyone have the experience of attaining a UK visa from Germany, and if yes, what documents were translated.

Following is the list of documents which I plan to submit in the order of priority:

  1. Work contract (I will translate this).
  2. Salary slip (I will translate this too).
  3. Bank statements (this would rip me off, if I attempt to translate, as it is around 10 pages).
  4. Apartment contract (it is also 5 pages, which is a no-go for translation).
  5. City registration (also an additional document, means more translation costs).

If anyone could throw some light in this issue, it would be a huge help for me.
