Translation

I’m a literary translator specialising in dialogue translation such as screenplays, subtitles, dubbing and theatre scripts. My professional acting experience has sharpened my handling of text and subtext, enabling me to create accurate translations that are idiomatic and faithful to the original ‘voice’. I translate from English into German and vice versa.
