Speaking World
Nothing will be lost in translation

 

Born in 1963 in Germany, I spent most of my life in a small city near Cologne.

I started working as a freelance translator in 2001. then moved to Scotland in 2006 and set up my own business as a translator. Since 2007 I have been continuously translating for a big publishing company in the tourism industry. I have also translated and localized several websites and blogs.

Many good books have been poorly translated, which is an absolute shame. A good translator should know his language and need to love to read, know how to translate idioms, and learn how to localize. Nothing will get lost in translation as I know how to do it. I love to play with words and, in my native language, I am very eloquent.

Your book is your baby. You have spent hours after hours trying to find words expressing what is in your mind, developing characters, describing them, and making them come to life. Let me help you to do the same in my language. 

 

What do I like to read?

Fiction - romance - historicals - fantasy - history - Celtic - Norse - myths - legends - folklore

Like: Lord of the Rings, Marion Zimmer Bradley (Darkover, House between Worlds etc.), Nora Roberts trilogies, Harry Potter, 

I am interested in the Celts, Ireland, Scotland and their myths and legends.
