I have an ongoing stream of English-language texts that must be rendered into flawless, idiomatic German. Because tone and nuance are critical, I will only consider native German speakers with a strong command of English.

You will receive source files in regular batches—anything from short emails to multi-page reports—and I expect each file back in clear, publication-ready German that requires no further editing on my side. Consistency, correct terminology, and a natural reading flow are more important to me than sheer speed, but agreed-upon deadlines must always be met.

What will help you succeed:
• Previous professional translation experience, especially if you already work with CAT tools (Trados, MemoQ, or similar) for terminology management.
• Eagle-eyed attention to grammar, spelling, and punctuation.
• The flexibility to handle both formal business texts and lighter marketing copy as projects arise.

Deliverables for every assignment:
1. Translated German file in the same format as the source
2. A brief comment sheet highlighting any ambiguous source phrases or terminology choices
3. Confirmation that you have run a final QA check for completeness and layout

I will begin with a paid trial piece; if the quality meets my standard, you can expect steady work moving forward. Please include a short note on your experience and, if possible, one or two brief samples that showcase your style.
