Native German Translator | English - German Translation & Localization

Hi, I'm Michaela – a native German speaker from Austria with 7+ years of professional translation experience and 170+ five-star-only reviews across various platforms. I don't just translate, I adapt content so it feels natural and converts in German. As a Senior Sales Operations Manager, I understand marketing psychology, conversion-focused copy, and brand voice. Additionally, I have a 5-year business & tourism training background and basic automation knowledge. What I translate: - E-commerce & Shopify stores (product descriptions, customer emails, navigation, UI/UX) - Marketing & sales content (email campaigns, ad copy, social media, landing pages) - Website & app localization (interface elements, user flows) + UI/UX testing feedback - Tourism & hospitality content (my professional background) - Technical documentation (manuals, software strings, app content) - Creative writing (books, novels, blogs, NSFW/adult content) Companies I've worked with: CurrentBody, Replika App (10M+ downloads), Deutsche Bank, EaseUS, Monster Group UK, Peanuts Worldwide, IDS, Breaseworld and many more in fields like tourism, online gaming/casinos, clothing, real estate, medical industries, software, construction and many more. Why you should work with me: - Native German with dual background: translator + sales/marketing professional - Fast, reliable turnaround with attention to tone, style, and cultural fit - Comfortable working in CMS platforms and localization tools - Perfect for ongoing projects and long-term collaboration How to start: - Send me your project details and timeline. I can usually start immediately. - Need a sample? Just ask – I'm happy to provide one free of charge. I look forward to working with you!
