How powerful and beautiful language is!

I am fully bi-lingual in German and English and have translated a variety of documents from German to English as well as from English into German over the years. Until now translation has been a side business for me. All of the work I have done to date has been freelance. I would like to become more active in translation and possibly even in interpreting at this time.

As a translator I seek to stay true to the original text and its meaning and to preserve its nuances, while at the same time writing an intelligible document. Many of the translations I have done have been medical texts. My work as a researcher in the medical field, specifically in vision research has been invaluable in rendering translations. The degrees I hold in Spanish and History also contribute to understanding language structure and meaning, a general understanding and appreciation of the humanities, and the ability to write in a concise and accurate manner.

Avid reading and good reference sources keep my knowledge of the languages and a variety of subjects within these languages alive and active. My long-time experience in real estate and in writing contracts likely qualifies me to translate legal documents. I would be happy to test that out, always seeking to add to my knowledge base.
