Translations English / German
The translation of a short business email or the translation of a very personal letter are both important to you. So are the contents of your website or your dissertation, your company brochures or your autobiography. For all of these translations you will need a competent and reliable translator to convey the message and style of your marketing materials or capture the “feel” of your personal document in the other language.If you’d like to get an idea of the quality of my English-German translation work, please see my client comments under Testimonials as well as my English-German Project Examples.

I can check your translation thoroughly for you. Better safe than sorry!
Translating for Businesses / Agencies
The difference between an average translation and an excellent one is little in terms of cost but massive in terms of benefit. A top quality translation will not only get the message across properly but really makes you look good.Each translation, whether it’s a single email or the translation of a whole website, is an opportunity to impress customers or clients who speak a different language ... and that translates into increased sales.

German Translation Services
TThe translation of a small text of only a few words in a business email or the translation of a book (e.g. a novel) of several hundred pages from English to German is a specialist professional activity. So is translating website content or translating a dissertation. In the translation of company brochures, computer games, business letters, resumes, applications or even a simple personal letter I use the same professional skills but adapt my approach to the type of document I am translating and the target audience for it.
German Native Speaker
TTo get the highest standard of translation a translator usually translates into their native language and I guess my surname gives mine away! However, I also undertake translations into English. In order to be absolutely sure that the finished German to English translation is as good as my translation into German would be I have all my English translations proofread by my qualified English partner. In fact, this “double act” can turn in a better result than a German-English translator since a native speaker is working on both sides of the job.
