Marc M.

German Localization Expert | Shopify, SaaS & Website Audits

I translate and refine German content for Shopify stores, SaaS websites and apps. Whether you need English-to-German translation, human review of AI-translated content or a localization audit, I help you define the scope and deliver natural, consistent German. For Shopify projects, I can implement agreed corrections directly in T-Lab or Weglot. I'm Marc, a native German localization professional with practical e-commerce experience. My work includes localization projects for monday, CPAPeuropa and HeyGen. Having run my own online store and retail business, I understand how product information, navigation and customer communication work together. THE RIGHT SUPPORT FOR YOUR CONTENT You don't need to know which service to book before contacting me. Share your store link or a content sample, your goals and your deadline. I'll help you choose a suitable scope: • Focused review: checking agreed pages, sections or recurring issues for meaning, terminology and natural German. • Full translation or revision: English-to-German translation or thorough editing of existing or AI-translated content, including accuracy, completeness, tone of voice and consistency. • Website and customer-journey audit: reviewing the German experience from landing pages and navigation through product information, cart, checkout and support, with prioritized findings and actionable corrections. We agree on what will be checked, how thoroughly, and whether you need a findings report, revised content or changes implemented directly. SHOPIFY LOCALIZATION & IMPLEMENTATION I work directly in Shopify, T-Lab and Weglot to translate, review and maintain German store content. This includes product and collection pages, metafields, navigation, FAQs and other customer-facing text. I also support landing pages, newsletters and email flows. I translate and edit text directly in Figma, checking the German wording, text length and consistency in the design. Your team receives localized copy in the layouts it already works with. For large product catalogs and content libraries, I maintain glossaries and tone-of-voice guidelines to keep wording consistent across your store, marketing channels and ongoing updates. I work with translatable content in JSON and HTML, preserving file structure, tags, placeholders and variables. This helps your team use the localized files in its existing workflow. SAAS, APPS & LOCALIZATION QA I also localize and review SaaS websites, app interfaces and technical content. In-context checks cover terminology, missing translations, labels, buttons and text that does not fit its container. I provide specific corrections your team can apply, or implement them where access allows. My tools include Shopify, T-Lab, Weglot, Figma, WordPress, Trados, Phrase and Smartling. HOW WE WORK Once we've agreed on the scope and timeline, I translate, revise or audit the content, implement the agreed changes and check the result in context where access allows. You receive the agreed deliverables, with any open issues clearly flagged. Send me your store or app link and tell me what you want to improve. I'll help you identify a useful first step.
