Bio

For over 20 years, I have worked as a full-time professional English into German translator, copywriter, proofreader, and editor. I hold a Master of Arts degree for both English and German, and have substantial marketing, advertising, and PR experience. I also have in-depth technical expertise and interests.

I am a native speaker of German as spoken and written in Germany (de-DE), but I am also proficient in Swiss High German (de-CH) and Austrian German (de-AT). The fact that I live and work in Germany assures you that every text reads as if it was originally written by a well-versed German copywriter with excellent writing skills and expert knowledge of the according field of expertise. This ensures that you optimally address your German-speaking target audience with excellent translations and transcreations that consistently reflect the quality of your products and services.

My reputation for quality has led me to become the EN>GER translator, copywriter, and proofreader of first choice for renowned global companies and international translation & localization providers. I have translated, transcreated, written, localized and edited the website content, corporate presentations and documents of many satisfied clients including various Fortune 500 companies.

My use of CAT tools such as SDL TRADOS STUDIO and memoQ ensures consistency in my translations. I offer excellent quality at reasonable rates, and always guarantee the confidentiality and non-disclosure of all the data, documents, files, and information you provide me.  

Offered services

Translation & Transcreation - beyond literal translation

I translate and recreate the original English text into German while making sure it carries the same message and is appropriate in the context and for the intended target audience. The result reads as if it had originally been written in German from scratch, not just literally translated from English.

Proofreading, Editing, Review

From correcting linguistic errors (e. g. typos, grammar and punctuation mistakes) in German texts to a full review / revision of the German target text as compared to the original English source text incl. amending literal translations by polishing their wording, style, and syntax.

Copywriting German

Content creation from scratch or based on existing English or German content incl. conducting all the required interviews and research necessary for texts such as success stories, case studies, blogs, or social media posts.
