Adding value in and beyond translation

I am a specialist English language professional working with leading-edge clients in the areas shown in the banner above. A quality-driven second-generation translator, I have worked in Germany for over forty years, serving leading enterprises as an in-house manager and specialist, and an external service provider and company owner. Core client needs – quality, process, reliability, value for money, and a proactive approach – are second nature to me.

In my translation and editing work, I produce stylish, highly specialized English texts to tight and dynamic deadlines. I capture both message and tone, understanding what’s said, what’s not being said, and what shouldn’t be said. I keep abreast of the right specialist resources, turn disparate input into a homogeneous whole, and keep track of all changes even when the going gets tough. I liaise with clients on sensitive phrasing and terminology, advise on cross-cultural pitfalls, and tailor texts to specific audiences where appropriate. And at the end of the process, my professional proofreading services ensure the final texts are truly publication-ready every time.

My specialist seminars leverage my expertise in these areas to train in-house and freelance translators, editors, and communications staff, while my translation management experience and knowledge of current language industry developments form the basis for my consulting work.
