Dull machine-generated texts and translations aren't good enough to connect with your audience? And quality isn't just an afterthought for you? Great! Then I'm here to help you make your content sound authentic and human. Focusing on three broad categories – IT, media, and marketing –, I offer the following language services for English/German:

• Translation, transcreation, subtitling
• Editing, proofreading, revision
• Machine translation post-editing (MTPE)
• Language quality assurance (LQA)
• Fact-checking and style-related advice
• Copywriting (with SEO in mind)

When I translate your English content into German, you get texts that are idiomatic, correct, and easy to read. When I review and fact-check your German content, you can be confident that the final version is clear, free of errors, and ready for publication.
