ABOUT ME
U.S. citizen. Raised in a multi-lingual German & English-speaking environment
BBA in finance & marketing management
2+ years with a Wall Street firm (NYC). Obtained various financial / securities certifications
In Germany, I worked for a private bank from 1981-1986 (International Securities desk). In 1986, I joined another bank (sales, domestic German securities) and continued working in the financial / securities arena until my return to the U.S. in 1997.
While in Germany, I participated in numerous specialist seminars and conferences in the areas of banking, securities, investment, IT/software/hardware & photography.
I’ve been a German to English translator in Jacksonville Florida USA since 1997 and I founded www.translategerman.com in March 1998.
TO OBTAIN A QUOTE
FOR AN ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF YOUR GERMAN DOCUMENT
Email me the German-language text (e.g. .docx file format) and describe your project. Include your full contact info and, if relevant, your requirements and any reference materials.
If you need a targeted localized American English / US English version of your German text (e.g. transcreation), let me know.
If I need additional information, I’ll contact you prior to emailing you my quote.
Variables impacting project cost include factors such as the the length and difficulty of the text, complex formatting, graphics, captions requiring translation etc.
Non-editable formats such as PDF and JPG files can often be processed via OCR to generate a usable editable German language source-language file. When this is not possible the translation & formatting is created ‘from scratch’ using a print out of your non-editable source file, which takes more time.
If available, it’s always preferable to email me an editable file.
Rush deadlines and/or accompanying notarized statements covering the translation (or translations) incur additional charges.
