I am a fully qualified English to German translator with 18 years of experience, a native German speaker with native-level command of English, a Member of the North West Translators' Network and of the Society of Authors Translators' Association.
Trading as GermanEnglish Language Services, I offer translation, proofreading and editing services for a variety of documents, from marketing material and website content to questionnaires, leaflets and brochures, from poems, short stories and letters to full blown novels.
Originally from the alpine city of Innsbruck in Austria, I am now settled in the walled city of Chester in the UK. In between, I spent four years in the imperial city of Vienna, where I studied English, Italian and anthropology.
I hold the Diploma in Public Service Interpreting (DPSI), having passed the exam in 2005 with a distinction in both the English to German and the German to English translation tasks.
Furthermore, I have gained the Diploma in Translation in 2009, passing all three papers at the first attempt – quite an achievement.
My first book translation, "The Infinity Pool" by Jessica Norrie, a thrilling holiday read receiving 4- and 5- star reviews, was puplished in June 2018, as "Der Infinity-Pool, Urlaub im Jetzt".
I have now spent twenty years in England, but (apart from during the pandemic) go back to Austria on a regular basis and keep myself up to date with what's happening on German media. So, I can say with confidence that I am as much at home in English as I am in German.
