I'm a freelance German language specialist with a focus on IT content and software localization. From translations and post-editing to linguistic quality reviews, I deliver clear, natural-sounding German that reads fluently and remains technically precise..
I professionally review and refine machine-translated texts (MTPE) and LLM-/AI-generated German translations. You receive linguistically polished, natural-sounding German that reliably follows your company-specific terminology and style guides. I check for meaning shifts, omissions, and awkward phrasing. For in-app content, I verify placeholders, variables, and tags to ensure they are correctly preserved and fully functional.
I localize and translate software content into German, from UI strings and system messages to in-app content. I work with memoQ and am also familiar with other TMS/CAT tools. I can handle various localization file formats (e.g., JSON, XML, key-value) and build RegEx filters for unfamiliar formats. In addition, I take into account UI constraints such as character limits, line breaks and correct rendering in the UI. I deliver high-quality translations that are ready for implementation.
Would you like a native German speaker to review your texts? I offer proofreading and stylistic editing of German texts. I improve readability and tone, correct grammar and punctuation and check the entire content for logical coherence. The result is polished German that is ready for publication.
FFor traditional translation projects, I specialize in information security, database systems, logistics and warehouse management, as well as general mechanical engineering topics and mechanical seals.
I have been working as a freelance translator since 2019, starting my career while I was still at university and continuing after completing my Master's degree. With a focus on IT-related content and software localization, I have also worked for the European Commission as a freelance language service provider.
With the rapid development of language technology in recent years, my scope of work has expanded to include post-editing and linguistic quality assurance of LLM-generated translations into German.
