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 youโre 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 โ always refined for accuracy, tone, terminology consistency, and natural German flow. Areas of expertise โข Life science & healthcare translation โ Medical, veterinary, pet care, wellness, fitness, nutrition, dietary supplement, and skincare content. โข UX/UI & digital product localization โ German localization for apps, SaaS, software, web platforms, and other user-facing content. โข Marketing & sales localization/transcreation โ DACH-market adaptation for B2C and B2B ads, campaigns, landing pages, and emotionally nuanced copy. โข Survey & market research localization โ German survey translation and localization inside and outside Qualtrics. โข German proofreading, editing & MTPE โ 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, Iโve completed 411 projects and earned $500K+ on Upwork, with several long-term client relationships โ 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 youโre 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. Iโm always happy to discuss the best localization approach for your audience, goals, and workflow requirements.
