Bio
Translations, writing, ghostwriting, copy editing, proofreading in FR/GE/EN.
Web content editing, Research


Multicultural background; used to adapt text to audience, rather than just translate.

For my English writing skills, check my novel "BROKEN" on amazon.com.
The German translation "ZERBROCHEN" will be published in April 2013.
You find my French writing on amazon.com as well:
"La SUISSE, TERRE D'ACCUEIL, TERRE DE RENVOI".



The ADVANTAGES of a multicultural background in translation:

It helps you to find the right word or expression.
An example: You provide your staff everywhere with "high-quality sensations and excitement" and ask me to suggest a German version. I am not satisfied with your "qualitativ hochwertigen Erlebnissen und Spannung". I therefore pick my French brain, and it tells me: "mit intensiven Eindrücken und mitreissenden Erlebnissen".
Couldn't that be more motivating?

WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE?
Legalese:
FrenchTerm: Faire toutes déclarations nécessaires et prendre tous engagements.
Your translation: Make all representations required and undertake all obligations.
My translation: Make all necessary notifications and accept all commitments.


Acronyms
English: TEAM:Together Everyone Achieves More
German: TEAM:Totales Engagement Aller Mitarbeiter
French: TEAM:Tous Ensembles Avec Motivation

Art/Literary
English term: You need a crowd so you can look for yourself.
Translation Y: Tu as besoin de la foule pour pouvoir regarder de tes propres yeux.
My translation: C'est dans la foule que tu te reconnais (toi-même).

OR

Spielbälle ihrer Leidenschaften,
als deren hehrste mich der Trieb dünkt,
müssen sie zwiespältig sein,
wie das Wollen der Natur selbst

Tossed like a toy by their passions,
whose most sublime is desire,
or so it seems to me,
they are men/women of contradictions,
as is nature's wish itself.

AND SO ON...
