Languages have been my passion since I discovered the exciting world of English and Japanese literature as a teenager. I studied English and Japanese linguistics, literature and culture as well as foreign-language didactics with great interest and soon realised that I had found my future career in translation. As a freelance translator, I combine my passion for languages with my interest in technology and mostly focus on translations in the field of IT, such as the localisation of software and software documentation or websites. I am also very happy to translate marketing and advertising texts which often require a lot of creativity and a very good feel for the language in order to have the same effect in the target language.
