What you get:

- German native language
- translator residing in target country (Berlin, Germany), i.e. in vivid daily contact with the language
- Educational background: studies of German Linguistics and Literature plus Journalism at the Freie Universität Berlin 2005-09. (A selection of published studies is available on amazon.) (However, as amazon is still sueing the German Betriebsrat, I ask and advise any interested reader and prospect amazon customer to buy it as an ebook deliverable to your email inbox in order to save the people working for amazon in Germany the extra delivery work for printed material. Refers to the years 2013/2014, we need to observe how the situation develops in the upcoming years and whether I'd be able to delete this note on my profile anytime in the future.)

Delivering professional translation services in the language pairs EN>DE and PL>DE since 2009. (Sure, started as a student a bit earlier but official pro level translations since 2009 definitely.)

Offered variants:
EN(US) to DE(DE) (no Swiss or Austrian offered)
EN(UK) to DE(DE)
PL(PL) to DE(DE)

Core specialization: Media/PR/Journalism/Editorial Content

"Hobby specialization": I do love arts and literature, so projects in this fields are extra welcome and get some preference.

Fields of expertise and intense experience: Marketing, Website and Software Localization, Law General (Contracts, T&C), IT, Financial/Business

Fields of experienced interest: Arts/Literature, Humanities, Social Sciences, Education/Training

Specialized in the translation workflow steps: content.
File formats: I accept also .txt. Even .rtf. ;)

I am an LSP, not belonging to the pool of "free self-destructive marketing personnel with degree in IT necessary in order to catch up with software bug frequencies", meaning that requests a lá "willing unpaid advertisement helpers for a big translation business software company wanted" will -not- be answered, or at least not yet.

Offered workflow steps:

1) translation with concentration on the content and proofreading for requests where this makes sense.

2) I offer free back-checking of proofreading results of my own translations. This proofreading results are in my case detailed reports. This free service is an exception, but it is a service I love to offer because it has a story, a reason. There was a PR letter once for an interesting company as the end client that was delivered ready-for-print. And then something happened, a "proofreader" changed a crucial word, therefore presenting the company at the CeBiT as "We are absolute morons! Total no-names, rocking rock bottom-feeders, we have no clue, really. Anyone interested?" - This happend by changing one crucial word, the proofreader obviously was not qualified for this job. So I do offer free proofreading back-checking (for the proofreadings of my own translations), detailed.

TL;DR:
In case you prefer a specialist for the content phase and a specialist with a core specialization, with additional extensive experience in other fields as you see in the translation samples, please feel free to contact for the workflow steps:
-content translation- (without DTP)
-proofreading- for cases where this makes sense- [no MT editing, but you can order a retranslation of MT results for my usual rates.]
and for
-free backchecking of proofreading results for the proofreadings of my own translations-.

Please do note that for first orders by clients without a convincing BB entry, the client will be required to register an Elance account for processing of the first order as this is necessary for my business risk management. Payment will be then done via Elance's escrow system, which means you will have to pay the negotiated fee "upfront", but you will have the option to release the payment after delivery of the result to your satisfaction (it will be released automatically after 2 weeks only if you forget about it).
