About me
Since 1980 I am specialised in the translation of technical documentation (user and/or service manuals) from English into German with the aim, to provide user-friendly and understandable language for the customer and the correct technical information for service departments.
Experience from nearly 10 years of work in the documentation department of a german manufacturer of communication and measurement equipment (Rohde & Schwarz) and a lot of training on how to write understandable technical documentation combine into a profound knowledge in this area.
Special experience: direct editing of PDF documents

I will translate technical documentation for:
- communication equipment
- automotive (cars & trucks)
- electric/electronic appliances
- electronic equipment
- consumer electronics
- measurement equipment
- microcomputers and peripherals
- etc.
