No one would ever deny - translating is a sophisticated and responsible task. This does not only apply to literary contents. Just think of an interpreter in the field of political or economic meetings, whoose work is widely accepted as a contribution to peoples communication and cultural exchange.
And, what about user manuals, presentation, scientific papers, articles, training material, websites, FAQ-Sections? After all, even those fall under the category "to be read by human eyes"...!
It's a matter of course: Good technical translation should be clear cut, distinctive-, definite- and professionally written to match both, the customer's and the recipients intentions. Clarity instead of degrading dispassion! Basic principles of layout, design, user-convenience and didactics shall be considered, anyway.
Unfortunately, there is heavy cost- and time-to-market pressure especially in the IT-industry, that sometimes cause incredible and unbearable compromising in linguistic quality...
From my belief, hightech products deserve high-grade documentation. It's a well-known fact, that only the comprehensible and helpful documentation will have positive impact on a product's market success.
These quality requirements can only be accomplished by a native speaker and experienced writer!

Soul... Writing for a better understanding!



Quality is it's own recommendation. As a german native speaker and author, I constantly strive to supply excellent linguistic results. For my translational work, this means transcreation rather than literal translation. Human translation rather than MT or CAT. Thus, my translations are written in a natural, accommodating style, not perceptible as translated content.
Clients appreciate the clarity, reliability and the technical competence in my translational work - and, not least, the highly competitive cost/performance ratio!
Besides, I let no deadline "rush by" up to the present day ;-)
