About me
“Doestoevsky, Heraclitus, Dante, Virgil, Homer, Cervantes,
Kafka, Kierkegaard, Tolstoy, Hölderlin, and scores of other
poets and writers who have marked me forever 
—  I, an American, whose only foreign language is French  — 
have all been revealed to me, read by me, digested by me, in translation.

Translators are the shadow heroes of literature,
the often forgotten instruments that make it possible
for different cultures to talk to one another,
who have enabled us to understand that we all,
from every part of the world, live in one world.”

Paul Auster

Currently, I am working as a freelance translator in Berlin. My main client is Strato AG. I am reliable and provide accurate translations. I am able to bridge the gap between the English and Dutch language, as well as between the German and the Dutch language, especially in regard to general, technical and corporate documents, manuals and software.

As a rule of thumb, I can comfortably translate 2,000-3,000 words/day (approx. 50,000 words/month).

If you are in a rush and require urgent assistance, I can translate up to 4000 words per day; I always appreciate advance notice, especially if larger volumes are required within a short period of time.

MY TRANSLATION RATES ARE:
0,08 euro (0.10 USD) p/sw FOR GENERAL TEXTS *
0,08 euro (0.10 USD) p/sw FOR TECHNICAL TEXTS *
0,09 euro (0.12 USD) p/sw FOR LEGAL , BUSINESS and FINANCIAL TEXTS *
0,10 euro ( 0.14 USD) p/sw FOR MEDICAL TEXTS *

*Rates are negotiable for larger projects.
