Special retainer offer: strategic editing of machine translations

When an English “chocolate whip” becomes a German “Schokoladenpeitsche” and “topic dives” turn into “Thementauchgänge”, you’re witnessing machine translation at its best, which in this case means its worst. AI translation can be a great productivity tool but it only works and has any value for corporate goals if a human being’s critical thinking capacities are involved. For your machine translations, I’m that human:

Bilingual German/English, with 20+ years content, communication and localisation experience, providing strategic editing of machine translations with your audience and purpose in mind. Flexible and quick turnarounds. Reliable partner for clients in UK and DACH.
