My translations
Text types
I am open-minded, so it is always worth you inquire about your specific needs. However, I do focus on the following areas:
- law: civil, penal, family law
- certified translations for French
- international development cooperation
- human resources, vocational training, education
- marketing material
- business correspondence in all three languages
- Mechanical engineering
also forms an integral part of my professional experiences (instructions for use, safety instructions, machine specifications).
As mentioned before: it is always worth asking ...
Legal translations
In the legal field, it is often certified translations by a sworn translator that are required. I am a sworn translator for the French language (German–French–German) and I translate and certify, for example, the following legal or administrative documents:
School reports, diplomas & degrees
(job references, recommendation letters ...)
Certificates (certificates of attendance, medical certificates ...)
Public documents & notary deeds
(birth certificates, marriage certificates ...)
Administrative documents
(driving licenses, no record of marriage certificates ...)
Contracts (marriage contracts, employment contracts ...)
Extracts from the commercial register
Court judgments in civil, family and criminal law
(divorce decrees, but also e,g, bills of indictment)

Terminology research
Particularly in the legal field, e.g. for indictments, police reports or arrest warrants, it is very important to find the appropriate term in the target language, which ideally – but by far not always – coincides in meaning with that of the source language. In cases where this exact "congruence" or "equality in meaning" does not exist, a well-founded terminology search based on a specific, clearly defined approach provides the best possible answers.
This method may also be applied to all subject areas outside the legal context; it is a useful tool for a professional, high-quality translation.
