… Ich darf Ihnen bei dieser
Gelegenheit mitteilen, dass wir mit ihren Optimierungen sehr zufrieden
sind Frau Cuenin! Drei unabhängige Fachübersetzer haben bestätigt, dass
Ihre optimierte Version die wesentlich bessere ist.
… Hinsichtlich des letzten Proof-Reading Auftrags darf ich Ihnen
mitteilen, dass die Übersetzerin sehr erfreut von Ihrer Überarbeitung
war!

Fluent in my source languages and native speaker of the target language. With good writing skills.

and a genuine interest in wording and nuance. (I also translate poetry.)

- An official town and cathedral guide for French-speaking tourists in the capital city of a German Bundesland
(formerly GDR)
