Do you have a text that needs to be clear, consistent and suitable for its audience? I can help you translate, revise or write it, with care and close attention to its intended use.
Whether it is a personal text, a professional document or a message that needs careful wording, we discuss what your text needs to achieve and which kind of support makes sense.
For private clients and small businesses, in Frankfurt am Main and online.
Making texts understandable in another language.
I translate suitable general, personal and professional texts between German, English and French. I do not offer certified or sworn translations. I take language-specific features, the intended audience and the purpose of the text into account.
For work involving German, English or French, I check the particular language pair, direction, subject area and requirements before accepting the assignment.
Non-certified translations.
Checking spelling and grammar reliably.
I check spelling, grammar, punctuation and consistency of language. The content and your personal style are generally retained.
Improving expression and clarity.
Alongside language correction, I can also work on style, sentence structure, clarity, organisation and how the text comes across, within the scope agreed.
Your text should be clear and right for its intended audience.
Checking factual accuracy and sources is not automatically included.
Creating new texts that fit your goal.
Need a new text or help with wording?
We discuss the audience, purpose and key message. I then draft or revise the text according to the brief we agree on.
The service that fits best depends on your text, your goal and the amount of work required.
For a text that is already finished and needs a language check.
If you also want to improve style, clarity and expression.
If you need a new text based on information you provide.
Not sure yet? Describe what you need and I will help you identify an appropriate scope.
We can also discuss editing application documents and other texts.
We agree on the type of text, language, objective, scope and desired deadline.
I review the requirements and prepare an individual quote showing what is included and what it will cost.
After you commission the service, I work within the agreed scope and review the result before handing it over.
Clear expectations from the start
I review the length of the text, language combination and level of editing required before providing a tailored, no-obligation quote.
Other language support
Basic language accompaniment for suitable discussions or appointments may also be possible. Whether I can take on your request depends on the language, content, location, duration and professional requirements.
Particularly sensitive or high-stakes interpreting is not part of my regular services.
Your texts deserve careful handling
For your initial enquiry, the type of text, language or language pair, approximate length, intended use and desired deadline are enough.
Please do not send confidential documents or personal records through a public enquiry form.
If files are required, we will agree on an appropriate way of sharing them.
Do you have a text I can help with?
Tell me what the project is about and what kind of support you are looking for. I will check what is feasible and prepare an appropriate quote.
