German-English translation. Your text in native, marketing-oriented English.

Specialized translation for marketing and PR purposes. I've done high-powered advertising campaigns, major screenplays, news items and student dissertations.

My goal is simple: a discerning mother-tongue English reader should not even be aware that your item has been translated.  We're not talking a literal, flat-footed Google Translate style rendering here. Marketing-oriented translation means  'trans-creating' your German text in native English; composing with the same content and tone as the original.  The actual words and expressions may differ.  The customer's take-away should not!

If you are looking for the cheap and cheerful, utilitarian translation, Google Translate really isn't a bad option in a pinch.  If you need something more considered, consider coming to me for painstaking attention to context, tone, mood and detail.

Rates

My rates are competitive for a fluent, marketing-oriented, mother tongue translation.  The exact rate will depend primarily on the length of your German text, the complexity of the subject matter and how quickly you need it.  I usually quote a flat fee per job after seeing the original text. I would also need that original text to quote you a price per word or line.

For a no-obligation estimate, please send me your original German text in an editable Word document to vince.reardon@gmail.com, outlining your deadlines.  Confidentiality guaranteed.
