Sabina T.

English / German Translator and Proofreader

I'm Sabina – native German speaker and professional translator. I deliver English-to-German work that doesn't read like a translation. Twenty years of daily English use across England, China, and Sri Lanka built the cultural fluency that machine translation can't replicate. I don't convert your words; I rebuild them in German so they land the way you intended. What I translate (EN → DE) - Books, novels, and long-form fiction - Websites, product pages, and Amazon listings - Marketing copy: blurbs, landing pages, newsletters, A+ content - Documents, articles, academic and business texts - Apps, courses, and software interfaces Plus proofreading and editing of existing German content for grammar, style, and natural flow. Indie romance and romantasy – my specialty With my translation partner Michael, I've translated 40+ English-language novels into German — publicly credited as Sabina Triseckin on 16 of them on Amazon DE (search my name there to see the books). We work as a native-speaker duo: one translates, the other proofreads, every line passes through both of us before it reaches you. For authors specifically: fixed per-word pricing, no royalty share, 100% of your IP and royalties stay with you. Message me and I'll send the full process breakdown, transparent rate card, and a portfolio of translated novels directly. How I work Send me the source – a manuscript, a file, or just a sample. Within 24 hours you get a real quote and a realistic delivery date. Direct contact with one human, no agency layer, no surprise fees. 100% job success on Upwork. I write back to every message myself. Looking forward to hearing about your project. Sabina
