Bio
I have been a translator from English and Romanian into German, my native language, for many years now, specialising in business texts.
My most important specialist fields are:
Law, finance, PR, marketing, and technical texts from several areas.
I thus translate contracts, court orders and judicial sentences, public tender offers, laws, standards and regulations, patents, press releases, websites, presentations, business dossiers and annual reports, financial reporting documentation, business correspondence, job application dossiers, companies registry certification, handbooks and operating instructions (in all fields from household appliances to industrial plant), technical inspection reports, medical and pharmaceutical texts and more.

My end clients include companies and organisations with an international profile, some of whom have used my services for all their translation needs into German for several years now. I also work for translation agencies across Europe.
Wherever possible I use CAT tools such as MemoQ or Trados. I am also familiar with server-supported CAT Tools such as XTM. My own translation memories and term bases encompass several million words.
Before becoming a full-time translator, I taught language and literature at universities in Germany and Romania, where my classes focused not just on the theory of translation but on concrete examples. Only by working with real problems in real texts could the future translators in my classes be thoroughly prepared for the profession.

Good translation means more than just swapping one word for another; it means saying the same thing in the target language that has been said in the source.
