About me
I have seven year's experience as an SAP programmer.
My main areas of specialization are the following:
SAP technical literature and user manuals: Materials Management, Warehouse Management, Logistics, Sales and Distribution

I also have translating experience in the following fields:
Computer hardware/software development (Siemens, Hewlett Packard, RWE Computer Systems AG)
Automotive industry (Volkswagen AG;BMW AG;BMW Motorrad AG)
Telecommunications (Deutsche Telekom AG, Vodafone AG, Ericsson GmbH)
Aviation, aerospace(EADS Europe)
electronic signatures and time stamps (AuthentiDate)

I worked as a freelance translator on a 3-year project for Volkswagen AG in Germany. From 1998 to 2001 our translation team translated the entire SAP literature (SAP R/3 training courses, manuals, presentations) from German into English for Volkswagen AG. During this time I translated approx. 150,000 lines of SAP text from German into English.
After completing this project in 2001 I started working as a freelance translator for BMW AG specializing in the translation of marketing and advertising material. I have also translated technical literature (cars and motorcycles).
Recently, I have expanded my skills to include the translation of texts related to the railway industry, ropeways and ski-lifts as well as interior lighting systems.
