                                               Corporate website | Portfolio RM | about me

“Doestoevsky, Heraclitus, Dante, Virgil, Homer, Cervantes,
Kafka, Kierkegaard, Tolstoy, Hölderlin, and scores of other
poets and writers who have marked me forever 
—  I, an American, whose only foreign language is French  — 
have all been revealed to me, read by me, digested by me, in translation.

Translators are the shadow heroes of literature,
the often forgotten instruments that make it possible
for different cultures to talk to one another,
who have enabled us to understand that we all,
from every part of the world, live in one world.”

Paul Auster

„The days are just packed!” Assign me After twenty years working as a freelance translator in Berlin, I made the move to the Mediterranean climes of Gozo last spring. Over the past 3 years I have had the pleasure of co-operating with over 65 clients, providing reliable and accurate translations always delivered on schedule. I am an excellent communicator and with my vast experience translating diverse and complex briefs I am able to bridge the gap between the English and the Dutch language, as well as the German and the Dutch language.

My particular area of expertise is technical and corporate documents, specialist manuals and software. As a rule of thumb, I can comfortably translate 2000-3000 words/day (approx. 50.000 words/month).

Should you be in a rush and in need of urgent assistance, I can translate up to 4000 words per day (with modest help of MT). Where larger volumes are required, especially within a short period of time, advance notice is always appreciated.


MY TRANSLATION RATES ARE:
0,07 euro (0.09 USD) p/sw FOR GENERAL TEXTS *
0,08 euro (0.10 USD) p/sw FOR TECHNICAL TEXTS *
0,08 euro (0.10 USD) p/sw FOR LEGAL , BUSINESS and FINANCIAL TEXTS *
0,09 euro (0.11 USD) p/sw FOR MEDICAL TEXTS *

*Rates are negotiable for larger projects.
