Panglao, Philippines - 3:49 am local time
Hello, and thank you for visiting my Upwork profile, here is a quick outline of my skills and talents. I am a native German with near-native English proficiency and excellent written and verbal skills in both languages and 26 years of experience as an English to German translator/proofreader. I do quality and accurate translations of English Educational/IT/Marketing/E-Commerce and other material into German and deliver a quick turnaround. I have a keen sense of translation, Word choice, sentence structure, punctuation, grammar, etc. and my forte is to make sure that my translations sound like natural German.
Presently, I am translating a monthly Newsletter for Microsoft Corporation in Redmond, WA (since July 2020), and since May 2020 I am translating daily stock market news for the Spanish translation agency IPT-Translations. I am also doing sporadic linguistic work for DeepL, the biggest AI-Company in Germany, such as linguistic research, translations and writing text prompts to help train their software engines.
**Voice-Over Recordings**
Aside from translations I also record voice-overs in studio quality for language audiobooks, sales & 'How-To' videos, IVR Phone recordings, kidz-apps, travel guides, explainer videos and YouTube tutorials, etc., in German and in English. I use the Samson Q1U Dynamic Microphone in a soundproofed environment (acoustic foam, studio set up). Likewise, I am also experienced in timing audios and syncing them to original videos and slideshows.
**Highlights of my History as a Linguist**
From June 2020 to May 2022 I translated video subtitles and captions for Rev (rev.com), San Francisco, which amounted to 3500 minutes of video material and earnings of $10,200 for a total of 360 videos, using their in-house Atlas video editor. The majority were sales, marketing & e-commerce videos, as well as product videos for corporations such as Yamaha, Fender, D'Addario, Helix, Lumisoft, Hitachi, Canon, Amazon Music, Hines, Schenker, Enes Ylmazer, Körber, LUMA Institute, LumaFusion, MOOG, Indeed, Jay Leno, HubSpot, Tennis Channel, RELEVANT, snap oneTM and many others. I also translated TEDx Talks and Ed Sullivan Shows featuring Louis Armstrong, Elvis Presley, Diana Ross & The Supremes, Ella Fitzgerald and the Four Tops, which included translating the song lyrics.
From April 2017 to August 2019 I translated ca. 600 quizzes for Howstuffworks.com from English to German, the topics ranging from music, movies, the 80s, cars, how to fix cars, personality quizzes, math & science quizzes, general knowledge, history, geography to many other subjects. Because my client's business needs changed, he ended the contract in August 2019.
From 2014 until 2017 I was focusing on doing voice-overs for many clients and companies from all over the world and was taking care of the translations part for some of them as well.
In 2013 I was busy working for the Marvel Comics Group via Language Connect, UK, translating comic book back issues (1968 - 2013) of Spider-Man, X-Men, Avengers, Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Wolverine, Deadpool, Doctor Strange, Hulk, Silver Surfer, Daredevil, Fantastic Four and many other superheroes.
From 1998 to 2012 I was co-heading the English-German translations desk for the publishing companies Aurora Productions, CH and Activated Desk, UK, all the while working in an English speaking micro-environment. In this position my focus was on translations from the ground up, proofreading and quality control. I was also overseeing and training a group of remote translators and facilitated and proofread their work. The majority of the material has been on the topics of personal development, coaching & training, and on religion & spirituality. To further underscore my proficiency and language awareness: I hold a degree as a TEFL-Teacher (teaching English as a foreign language); I am a certified Life-Coach as well and coach clients in both languages.
