Hire the Best Software Localization Freelancers
in the United States

Cross-cultural communication requires more than literal translations or unedited AI output. As a native German speaker, US-based English-to-German translator with a Dr. vet. med. degree and 13+ years of experience on Upwork, I help life science, healthcare, wellness, and consumer brands create German content that feels accurate, natural, and market-ready. Whether you’re localizing digital UX/UI, marketing copy, surveys, or product content for the DACH market, my workflow combines expert human localization with carefully supervised AI-assisted drafting and CAT-tool support where appropriate — always refined for accuracy, tone, terminology consistency, and natural German flow. Areas of expertise • Life science & healthcare translation – Medical, veterinary, pet care, wellness, fitness, nutrition, dietary supplement, and skincare content. • UX/UI & digital product localization – German localization for apps, SaaS, software, web platforms, and other user-facing content. • Marketing & sales localization/transcreation – DACH-market adaptation for B2C and B2B ads, campaigns, landing pages, and emotionally nuanced copy. • Survey & market research localization – German survey translation and localization inside and outside Qualtrics. • German proofreading, editing & MTPE – AI-output review, editorial refinement of human translations, and polishing of original German copy. Why clients work with me I bring together native German language expertise, a Dr. vet. med. degree, 10 years of veterinary microbiology research experience, and a cross-cultural US/German perspective shaped by living in the American Midwest since 2011. Since 2013, I’ve completed 411 projects and earned $500K+ on Upwork, with several long-term client relationships — including one that began in 2014. My workflow is detail-oriented, quality-focused, and modern: I use SDL Trados Studio for terminology consistency and translation memory support, and I integrate carefully supervised ChatGPT-assisted workflows where appropriate. Every text goes through human review, proofreading, and refinement for accuracy, tone, cultural fit, and natural German flow. If you’re looking for natural, market-ready German localization for healthcare, life science, UX/UI, or consumer-facing content, feel free to reach out with your project details or source text. I’m always happy to discuss the best localization approach for your audience, goals, and workflow requirements.

Collaborative, Attentive & Client-Centric: I have been translating for over 25 years (English-Japanese). My biggest strength as a translator is the ability to make the target language (mostly Japanese) sound natural as if it had originally been written in it by adapting the appropriate tone and style for the audience and reflecting the client's corporate culture, brand images and needs. I am also experienced in proofreading and editing translation done by other translators or AI/LMMs. I have worked with a wide range of clients - from individuals and small start-ups to mid-size companies and large global corporations. I have helped many companies to launch their Japanese operations or open their Japan offices by translating email, business decks, marketing materials and other important documents. I incorporate my background to my work such as being raised in Japan, living in the United States for 30 years, working for different types of companies in Japan, Australia and the United States, raising children in the US education system, and belonging to various types of communities in Japan and the US. Therefore, I can work with different topics and materials. Some exceptions are areas requiring high expertise such as legal court documents, legal contracts and medical diagnosis. However, I have translated hundreds of business decks, reports, marketing materials (e.g. flyers, brochures, IG/FB posts), surveys, online course/training materials, and subtitles. Simply started as a translator, my role has evolved over years with technology advancements and business landscape changes. Lots of clients used their own platforms, translation tools and recently AI/LLMs, and I am a quick learner of new tools and technologies and cater to my clients' needs as their uses of technologies change.
