About me

-- degree in English and German (1. Staatsexamen)
-- 2 study years in the USA (high school & college), sponsored by the German Bundestag, the US Congress and the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes (German National Merit Foundation)
-- 2 years professional public relations experience (large international company in Zurich, Switzerland - automotive industry) working directly with the CEO and Executive Board
-- 5 years editing experience (books, magazines, electronic media)
-- thesis on Foucault/power/discourse
-- areas of specialization: automotive, engineering, architecture & design, pedagogy/philosophy

I am experienced in translating large Excel-files, such as catalogues, databases etc.

I have translated more than 100,000 detailed descriptions of car parts and accessories (German --> English).

I provide translations with a focus on clear and precise language. Since I also have a strong editing background, my texts generally do not need to be revised.

Professional tools such as Trados ensure consistency in my translations.

I closely cooperate with several engineers from top-ranking companies as well as with experienced automotive specialists and guarantee adequate translations even for highly technical texts.

Rates depend on complexity of source text and desired delivery date.

Keywords: automotive, cars, tuning, linguistics, architecture, design, interior decoration, decorating, furniture, pedagogy, psychology, power, discourse, history, philosophy

	X Why did the menu change? The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to. The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability. More information on the changes... Where is the "My ProZ.com" menu?
