Translation
Translation is the transfer of the written word from one language to another; in my case from English to German and from German to English.
My aim is to get the meaning across as clearly as possible and to facilitate effective communication between German and English. I will discuss any specific requirements with you, clarify any ambiguities and address any cultural differences that need to be taken into account. A strong analytical mind, dedication to excellent service and love for the written word will ensure your intended message reaches its audience.
I am widely experienced in the translation of business correspondence, brochures, manuals, contracts, agreements, travel guides, questionnaires and reviews.
I am also a published author, with my translation of “Der Infinity Pool” by Jessica Norrie - a thrilling holiday read, which came out in June 2018 - receiving four- and five-star reviews.
Translation is more than just translating word for word. It is important to be aware of the "little differences", the cultural references, idiomatic expressions and connotations and to accurately transform them so that they remain meaningful in the other language. A finished translation should be both a precise representation of the original content, and an accessible, understandable and enjoyable document in the target language.
