Bio

Experienced translator for the language pairs English-German and Spanish-German

CAT: Trados / Tag Editor / SDLX / Logoport / Déjà Vu / LocStudio

Fine instinct for language and tone of the text thanks to several years spent in the UK as well as in Argentina.

Among others, I specialise in the following topics:

Virtual reality, Gaming, Social Networking, Online Communities
Surveys and Market Research
Travel, tourism, and aviation
Pets and Fishkeeping
IT
Sports and Leisure
Clocks and Watches
Weather Instruments
Bakery Technology


Interests and Hobbies:

Virtual Worlds - I am a very active resident of a famous virtual world and work there part time as an estate/community manager in a privately owned residential estate.
I am also an experienced English/German/Spanish moderator in a pg community in that same vw, and I moderate a virtual english-speaking dinosaur community aimed at children aged 5-10. I also moderate several online groups and forums (a.a. iTunes, Intel, Nokia, etc.) on Facebook and other social networking sites. I love getting paid for playing ;-)

Pets - I have a one-of-a-kind Romanian ex-stray named Vincent

Tropical Fish - I own two fishtanks. A small one for red cherry shrimps and a big one for tiger barbs and ancistrus.

Audio Books - When I was a kid, my mom used to read bed-time stories to me. Now my mp3 player does it. I love listening to thrillers.

Edgar Allan Poe - I am fascinated by his genius and by his way of playing with words. My Thesis was written in defense of him. I can't get enough of his wonderful poetry and still "hear" The Bells.

Vincent Van Gogh - I spent a wonderful time in Southern France, following the traces he left. My heart beat faster whenever I visited a place where he had lived and worked.

Edmund Blackadder - For those who are not familiar with him: Rowan Atkinson is the actor who brings him to life, the same who starred as Mr. Bean.
The Blackadder series lives on a completely different type of humour. If you are into Queen's English and enjoy sophisticated jokes, this series is for you.

Travelling - Exploring a new country is fascinating. Getting to know the people and learning about their culture is a very rewarding experience.

Argentina - I fell in love with the country and it's people some years ago and decided to give up my German safety and jump into the Southamerican adventure. I never regretted this decision. I miss my friends, the country and all the lovely people I met. Que alguien me de un mate por favor!
