Bio

Technical Translator & Reviewer (EN/IT → DE)


With more than 25 years of professional experience, I help translation agencies and industrial manufacturers produce technically accurate, consistent and publication-ready German documentation.

My work combines an engineering background with decades of experience in technical translation, enabling me to understand not only the language, but also the technology behind it. I specialise in large technical projects where terminology consistency across manuals, software, HMIs and marketing material is just as important as linguistic accuracy.

Technical Background

Before becoming a full-time translator, I trained as a Volkswagen/Audi automotive technician and later worked as an engineer in building technology. This practical engineering experience enables me to communicate effectively with engineers and understand complex technical documentation.


Working Approach

I use modern CAT tools and AI-assisted translation workflows where they improve efficiency. Every project is carefully reviewed for:

  • Technical accuracy
  • Terminology consistency
  • Compliance with customer-specific terminology and style guides
  • Natural, publication-ready German

Whether translating from English or Italian, my objective remains the same:

Deliver German documentation that engineers are confident to publish.
