Translations

Holding a B.A. in Translations and a M.A. in Linguistics I translate from English, Spanish and Portuguese into German. In Spanish and Portuguese I have particular knowledge in Latin American variations of these languages. Besides my academic career I stayed in different countries to improve my language skills on hand.

As a German writer and editor, I offer specialized translations in

  • Literary Translations
  • Non-fiction books (on arts, humanities, history, neuro- and cognitive science)
  • Localization of websites and online games
  • Information brochures
