Proofreader, Translator, Copywriter (English-German) - SEO

German–English Localization, Translation & Linguistic QA Specialist I help companies turn English content into German that feels natural, accurate, and ready for real users. My main focus is German localization, translation, proofreading, and linguistic QA across apps, websites, product flows, marketing content, help centers, blogs, and other formats. I work with English source material and adapt it into clear, idiomatic German while preserving the intent, tone, and practical function of the original. A large part of my work happens in product and digital environments: UI strings, onboarding flows, app content, website copy, SEO-aware content, Crowdin / Lokalise tasks, FigJam-based QA, and AI-generated translations that need careful human review. I pay close attention not only to grammar and wording, but also to context, terminology, consistency, character limits, layout fit, and how the text actually reads inside the product. At the same time, my work is not limited to reviewing existing content. I also support clients with content creation, copywriting, rewriting, research-based work, content structuring, communication, and language-related administrative tasks. In practice, this means I can step into different parts of a German–English where clear thinking, strong language skills, and reliable execution are needed. Clients usually come to me when they need German content that is more than just “correct.” They need language that sounds natural to German users, fits the product experience, and can be published with confidence. What I can help with: → English ↔ German translation and localization → German proofreading, editing, and linguistic QA → App, web, product, and UX copy review → AI-translated or AI-generated content review and refinement → SEO-aware content adaptation and creation → Terminology, glossary, and consistency checks → Clear communication around issues, suggestions, and implementation details I’m a native German speaker with strong English proficiency and a very precise understanding of tone, meaning, and textual nuance. I’m comfortable working independently, asking the right questions when needed, and keeping clients updated clearly throughout the process. My goal is simple: to help you produce German content that is accurate, natural, and useful in the real context where your audience will read it.
