Translation

You have deadlines to meet and need a flawless, clearly formulated translation of your German text into English.

OR

You have an English text that needs to be polished, proofread or edited.

I can offer you:

• accuracy
• precision
• clarity
• fluency
• timeliness

Applying the appropriate translation strategy when faced with seemingly untranslatable words or phrases is considered by some to be an art and by others, a skill. I have found that the most effective way to develop one’s ability is through combining the two.

Producing high-quality translations demands the ability to harness creative energy and focus it on the word, phrase, sentence or paragraph at hand.

It is not always a question of finding the dictionary’s equivalent to a word; the big picture must be taken into consideration. What is the text type? What is the purpose of the translation? Who is the intended audience?

This is the essential blend of theory and practice.
