About me


Time Zone: EASTERN STANDARD (NEW YORK) TIME (GMT-5)
Background:
Native language: German
Second language (near-native level): US English
Austrian-born; US resident since 1993.
Freelance Translator
Website: agreattranslation.com
E-mail: info@agreattranslation.com
Telephone: +1 419 480 7277
Areas of Special Expertise:
Marketing and Advertising. My natural feel for languages as well as my experience of living in Austria and the United States for more than 20 years, respectively, have enabled me to perfect the creative approach that is required in these fields.
I just returned to the US from a 10-month stay in Austria.

In 1992, I earned a Master of Arts degree in Mass Communication (with emphasis in script writing and film theory). Since 1999, I have applied my translating skills in my special areas of expertise as well as various other subject fields, including Film, Literature, Art, Business, Law, Engineering, IT as well as academic disciplines such as Linguistics, Philosophy, Political Science, Religious Studies, Fine Arts, and Architecture.

I collaborate with other professional translators and proofreaders to ensure accuracy in both language directions, German > English and English > German. My wife Susannah and my father-in law Donald Wilson also assist me with proofreading. (see below)

Other Professional Experience:
German Instructor at The University of Toledo (UT), Ohio, 1998-2008: have taught Elementary and Intermediate German courses as well as the courses "Modern German Culture" and "German Culture and Commerce" (both in English) > link to course pages; at DANA Corporation, Maumee, Ohio (2004-2006): taught German to mechanical engineers; also taught German at Owens Community College (2002-2006) and Monroe County Community College (2006-2008).

Language Lab Director at UT (1998-2001): managed a computer-assisted learning facility for students of foreign languages - FLLC.

Technical Assistant at the Language Lab at Owens (2002-2008), also a multimedia/computer facility for foreign language students.
Education:
M.A. (Master of Arts Degree) in Mass Communication, from Bowling Green State University; Master's Thesis: "Music-Film Theory," exploring the relationship between the aural/musical and visual plane in films and videos;
1st Diploma Certificate (comparable to Bachelor of Arts) in Media and Communication Studies/Political Science, from Salzburg University, Austria.
Collaboration
My wife Susannah, a native speaker of US-English, contributes to my work. She holds a B.M. (Bachelor of Music) in Music Performance, from Bowling Green State University (BGSU). She is a piano teacher, a musical composer and a performer.

My father-in-law, Dr. Donald Wilson, is a Professor Emeritus of Music Composition (BGSU) and contributes to my work as a professional proofreader (American English).

I am also a member of the Wordforce-Marketing Team of Translators.
