I am experienced in translating large Excel-files, such as catalogues, databases etc. I have translated more than 100,000 detailed descriptions of car parts and accessories (German --> English).

I provide translations with a focus on clear and precise language. Since I also have a strong editing background, my texts generally do not need to be revised.

Professional tools such as Trados ensure consistency in my translations.

I closely cooperate with several engineers from top-ranking companies as well as with experienced automotive specialists and guarantee adequate translations even for highly technical texts.

Rates depend on complexity of source text and desired delivery date.
