I am an experienced translator, freelance journalist, editor and proof-reader with a number of years experience living and working in Germany. I am a native English speaker with a Master's Degree in German (1st class with Distinction in Spoken German) from the University of Edinburgh. I live in Germany and have spent time in Austria, therefore am highly familiar with a variety of local dialects.
I can translate the following language pairs: English- German; German-English; French-English.
Over the past 6 years I have undertaken freelance and longer-term translation, proof-reading and ad-hoc interpreting work for a variety of organisations across multiple industry sectors, including medical/pharmaceutical; media/advertising; IT/internet/ e-commerce; automotive; financial services; scientific; academic/literary (PhD theses, journal articles, short novels etc. I have worked for high profile organisations such as Pfizer, Bayer, Coca-Cola, JPMorgan and Amazon.
For translation work I would normally work to a rate of around $100-150 per 1000 words but of course this depends on the complexity/subject matter, any additional research that needs to be carried out over and above the translation itself and the urgency of completion.
Thanks in adavnce for considering my note of interest and plesae feel free to contact me should you wish to see a full CV.
Best regards,
Lynsey
