I am German by birth and nationality, and German is also my mother tongue - the Arabic name I adopted after becoming a Muslim in Pakistan in 1975.
Since then I have been living mainly in Pakistan, and also got married there in 1986.
During the last 15 years I did a lot of interpreting and translating (mainly between Urdu, English and German) free-lance as well as professionally. Besides that I have also been working as an ESL teacher in a language Institute, and during the last 2 years I have been writing articles as a freelance journalist for a Pakistani Magazine too.
Besides German, English and Urdu, I have a fairly good working knowledge of classical Arabic, and have as matter of completed several literary projects from Arabic to English, respectively German. I also have some working knowledge of French and Spanish.
I can comfortably handle any subject matter to and from German,English and Urdu.
(I have done medical, biological, legal, commercial and technical material).

My rates depend on subject matter, job nature and deadline, but are generally very competitive, and there is always a scope for negotiation.
Under normal circumstances I am available daily for 6 hrs.
