Welcome to my website!
After more than 30 years of hands-on experience as a graduate translator and liaison interpreter in a large range of fields, my objectives remain unchanged:
- make a substantial contribution to successful business relationships
- encourage the mutual understanding for the benefit of intercultural communication
- provide a reliable transfer of contexts, even on demanding and ambitious levels
- translate specialized texts precisely and, in general, as close to the source as possible
Before this background, I offer my qualified services in the following areas:
- business meetings
- contract negotiations
- European works councils
- plant visits
- workshops
- fairs and exhibitions
- marketing
- environment
- social & educational sciences
- healthcare
- the arts
- literature
- media & publishing
- fashion
Philosophy & Method
Fortunately, I can count on a long standing and tested cooperation with many colleagues who work according to the same standards, thus allowing me to
- create a specialized team for the required terminology and accept translation orders of larger volume
- recommend the colleagues trained in conference and consecutive interpreting for the language/s needed on the occasion
It is understood that – without any exception - confidentiality of all information and data provided by the customer will be guaranteed.
Another principle, proven to be a ‘golden rule’ to ensure best quality, is double checking each text by a reliable colleague before delivering the translation.
Of course, I would like to explain the different pricing systems, depending on various factors, for translations and interpreting, as well as answer any other question you might have regarding your inquiry.
