Bio
I am an experienced technical translator and technical writer with 15 years experience in computer software localization, creating and translating user manuals and online help. Working as full-time freelance translator, mainly from English into German, I specialize on software (user manuals and localization) and electrical engineering but also translate other technical, business-related, and marketing-related texts.

Previously, from 1998 until mid 2011, I worked in-house as a technical writer and translator (banking software, fire detection systems, database and differencing tools). I am familiar with writing and translating (from English into German) technical documents such as User Manuals, Installation Instructions, Press Releases and the like.

Master's degree on translation and interpretation from the University of Vienna (Institut für Übersetzer- und Dolmetscherausbildung).

Areas of expertise:
  • Software localization
  • User Manuals and Installation Instructions for software and technical devices
  • Water treatment (filters, cartridges, valves, reverse osmosis)
  • Patentability reports
  • Press releases and Marketing Announcements
