User friendly means for me not only perfect embedding in the target culture, with all its specifics, but also a creative and rational approach to the user experience with a product. I put myself in their shoes and create a text, which would satisfy me as a user, reader and/or customer, instead of interfering with my use of product – understandable, accurate and convincing. The formal aspects and characteristics of the texts from the field in question as well as special wishes of my clients constitute the basis for my creative work.

My philosophy of user friendly translations assumes that my clients want to offer their clients the best products possible and their success depends for the most part on the most user oriented solutions. It does not matter if it is a video game, business software, sales website, tourism information material, technical manual, a guidebook or any other kind of document.

-Specializations-

IT, games and
software localizations

Game genres: strategy, simulation, RPG, adventure,
action, puzzle, party, logic, educational, board games, card games.

Software: mostly application software.

Beside the main product (game or software) my services
include also translating spec sheets, manuals, product related websites, articles,
press releases, press kits and other marketing materials, which often requires
my broad knowledge of hardware components.

I have an in-depth knowledge of video games and
experience in translating them.
As
a
gamer myself and married to a
game developer I have gained insights from both sides of the industry. I know
the problems of localizations as well as the ways to solve them.

Touristic
translations
&
websites localizations

Travel guides, tourism websites, brochures, flyers,
catalogues, press releases, information bulletins, terms and conditions etc. As
a passionate traveler I experience the industry from the customers point of
view, which allows me to bring touristic
translations to the next level.

Linguistics
& Literature

Thrillers, romance novels, detective novels, fantasy
and Sci-Fi, religious, guidebooks, cookbooks. I am very well acquainted with
the writing styles and specifics of this genres, which I enjoy reading myself.
My education in German and Romance languages concentrated on linguistics and translation
as well as a broad spectrum of literature and its analysis.


As a bookworm I possess extensive knowledge in various
areas, thus I also work with general texts in fields different than my
specializations.

Since 2012 I live and work in Germany where I continue
to improve my language and translation skills.
