German | French | English Translator & Linguist | Technical, Legal & Professional Translation | MTPE | Editing & Proofreading Good translation should never feel translated. That is the standard I bring to every project. I work across German, French, and English, helping businesses, professionals, organizations, and individuals communicate naturally and accurately across languages. Whether the project involves German to English, English to German, French to English, English to French, German to French, or French to German, my focus remains the same: preserve the meaning, get the terminology right, and make the final text sound natural to the reader. With 12+ years of experience as a Translator, Editor, and Proofreader, a Master's degree in Linguistics, and experience across 500+ projects, I understand that professional translation is much more than replacing words from one language with words from another. It requires understanding context, terminology, tone, purpose, audience, and the subject matter behind the text. What I can help you with - German ↔ English translation - French ↔ English translation - German ↔ French translation - Technical manuals and documentation - Legal and business documents - Websites and online content - Medical and healthcare content - Automotive and engineering content - IT and technology content - Academic and educational documents - Editing and proofreading - Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE) - Business, marketing, and professional content - Technical translation is more than knowing the language A technically correct translation can still be difficult to read. That is why I pay close attention to technical terminology, consistency, context, sentence structure, instructions, specifications, warnings, references, and formatting. When working on manuals, technical documentation, or specialized content, I don't simply translate each sentence in isolation. I consider how terminology is used throughout the document and how the final text will actually be understood by its intended users. The goal is simple: Accurate enough for the subject matter. Natural enough for the reader. Consistent enough for the entire document. Experience across multiple industries Over the years, I have worked on projects covering: Technology | IT | Automotive | Healthcare | Law | Real Estate | Finance | Education | HR | Marketing | Business Consulting | Tourism | Beauty & Fashion | Fitness | E-commerce I have worked with startups, entrepreneurs, SMEs, professional service providers, and established businesses on projects ranging from individual documents to larger translation, editing, and proofreading assignments. I also work with MTPE If you already have a machine-translated document, I can take it beyond basic proofreading. My approach to Machine Translation Post-Editing is to identify unnatural phrasing, mistranslations, terminology problems, grammatical issues, contextual errors, and inconsistencies, then turn the output into polished, professional human-readable content. My approach Understand the context. Get the terminology right. Preserve the meaning. Make the language natural. Check it again. That is how I approach every project, whether it is a short business document or a 148-page technical manual. If you need a translator who can work confidently across German, French, and English and deliver more than literal word-for-word conversion, I would be glad to work with you. Send me your document, and let's make sure nothing gets lost in translation.
