How I work
When translating your texts, it goes without saying that I work with a close eye for detail and to ensure the translated text remains as close as possible to the source. What is more is that I pay particular attention to the translation of culture-specific elements to the communicative situation of the target audience. This means that you can be sure that the message of your text gets across to your target group as desired and remains as powerful as in the original. This is of special importance when translating websites or software interfaces, which require a particular adaptation to the customs and tehnological requirements of the target market.

Another advantage for you is that I am working with customer-specific glossaries. This means that my translations for you will be consistent in their use of terminology as required by your company. Having worked as an in-house translator myself I am aware of the importance of reflecting a certain house-style by using customized or preferred vocabulary when translating. You can be sure that translations into English or into German that you receive from me will fulfil your expectations and will merge seamlessly into your existing text portfolio and fit in with your corporate identity.
