Career / Experience

I’m a qualified translator in Germany and the United Kingdom for German.

I’m also a sworn (certified) translator, authorised by the President of the Higher Regional Court of Koblenz for judiciary matters in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

I’m a New Zealander and native English speaker.

I translate texts mainly from German into my native language, English.

I specialise in texts in the business, marketing and politics areas.

Alongside my German qualification, the State Examination for Translators (Hesse), I also hold the British equivalent, the Diploma in Translation from the Chartered Institute of Linguistics in London. Through these demanding qualifications you can be sure of the quality of my translations.

I am also a member of Germany’s Federal Association of Interpreters and Translators (known as the BDÜ, its German initials), a professional society dedicated to maintaining and improving translation standards.

   Pricing / Other services

Translation is more of an art than a science.

Every text is different, which means that the cost of a translation can only be worked out once I have seen the exact text. The actual price will depend on various factors, including the length and difficulty of the text, your deadline and any special requirements you may have.

Would you like a free, no-obligation quote? Send me the text you want translated. I will, of course, treat it in confidence. After receiving your text, I will get back to you as soon as I can with a quote for the job.
