Translation & Proofreading
High-quality, nuanced translations from German into English
Meticulous copy-editing and proofreading of English-language texts
Both British English (-ise or -ize; Oxford English Dictionary spellings and Oxford Style Manual rules) and American English (Merriam-Webster spellings and Chicago Manual rules)
In collaboration with trusted colleagues, I also offer translations from English into German, as well as from Italian or French into English
I have a large network of professional translators and interpreters for other language combinations, and can recommend copy-editors for German-language texts – just ask!
