“I believe quality translation is a true labour of love…

To quote (and translate) Karl Popper: ‘Translation is, above all, a moral problem. One must feel responsible; both towards the author, as well as – and even more so – towards the work. You have to be able to love the work’ ”

– Kim.

  • I am a Southampton-based chemical engineering graduate and Chartered Engineer. I was born and educated in Germany. I have been in the UK for more than 20 years. Learning new things has always been my passion, and despite using language since I was 8 months old there is always more to learn! I have passed the DipTrans exam and gained CIOL membership.

    Over the years, I have gained a broad technical vocabulary and practical experience from working across a huge number of different specialist areas including adhesives, automotive, water analysis and marine engineering.

    You can also find me on Proz and Upwork.

  • Pricing is dependent on any number of things… whether the documents are editable, and how much research will need to be undertaken.

    Prices start at £0.08 per new word and £0.04 per repeated word. I will be able to provide you with a more accurate estimate on your submission of work required.
