Scandinavian companies entering the DACH market don't just need translation. They need someone who understands both sides. I’ve lived in Sweden for years, and my academic and professional work spans Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish - and I write and think in German. That combination is rare. It means I don't just convert words. I catch what sounds technically correct but lands wrong with German speakers. The sentence that feels too direct. The product name that has unintended connotations. The tone that works in Stockholm but alienates buyers in Munich. That's the gap most localization misses. I close it. --- What I do: • Swedish / Norwegian / Danish → German localization • Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE) — AI output that actually reads like German • AI-generated content review and refinement • Linguistic QA for apps, SaaS, websites, and digital products • Cultural adaptation of marketing and UX content for DACH audiences • English → German localization Industries I work in: AI & language technology · SaaS & digital products · Apps & platforms · Marketing & e-learning --- What makes working with me different: Most translators know the language. I know the market - from both directions. I hold a Master’s degree in Scandinavian Studies and have professional experience in communications, press, and content. In practice: I’ve localized Swedish children’s game instructions into German - content where cultural context matters as much as the words themselves. And I’ve translated Swedish ingredient and supplement texts for a startup entering the German market. I adapt fast, communicate clearly, and deliver work that doesn’t need a second round of fixes.
