My name is Dorana Rogier, I am a freelance translator specializing in translations from English to German in the fields of Education, Marketing and Finance, Literature and Computer Games. I also offer editing and proof-reading in German.

I have got five years of experience as a translator, some more as a language teacher, a degree in economy and a degree in education. My native language is German. I have spent one year in the USA as an exchange student and another 5 months at a university in England. I have a diploma for teaching English to children at German schools.

I work with sdl trados, microsoft words, microsoft excel and similar programs. For further information please check my cv.
I´d be glad to provide translation services for you!

Best regards, Dorana


p. s.: Once I read a science fiction novel. The main character was living inside a very huge intelligent being. He merged with this creature - and with a large computer system as well - and thus became super-intelligent and omnipotent. The story ends with someone saying “Thank god!” and the main character answering “You´re welcome!”

I read the German translation of this story, in which “you´re welcome!” had been translated literally correct, word by word, to “Du bist willkommen!” Only that in German “You´re welcome!” doesn´t mean “You´re welcome!”. It just means “So good to see you!”. (If Germans answer to someone saying “Thank you!”, we say “Please!”, which means “Please don´t mention in!”) So the whole point was lost and the story ended in confusion.

I am not a translation machine. Thank god I can do better than that! Hope you give it a try.
