During simultaneous interpreting, I sit in an interpreting booth. Over headphones, I listen to what is being said on the floor. Even before the speakers have finished a section of their speech, I convey their message into the target language.
In consecutive interpreting, I use my individual note-taking technique to write down the structure of a speech. Sections of the source speech can be up to 8-9 minutes long, but in most cases they are shorter. After the speaker has finished their section, I convey their message into the target language.
There are two options for whispered interpreting: (1) If only 1-2 people need the interpreting, I sit behind them and “whisper” the interpretation simultaneously into their ears. (2) In the case of more listeners, there is the option of using a portable interpretation system.
This refers to the revision of machine-translated texts. There is light post-editing, in which only absolutely necessary changes are incorporated. There is also full post-editing, which results in a text as if it had been translated exclusively by human translators. A text that has been pre-translated and then checked by a machine is not always more favourable or sensible. After your enquiry, we can look at your individual case together.
In recent years, I have mainly translated in the fields of software/IT, marketing and tourism. On the one hand, I have made advertising campaigns accessible to the German-speaking target group. On the other hand, software localisation makes up a large part of my work. Software localisation means the translation of programs, their buttons, including tooltips, functions (...) and accompanying advertising material. Both types of text are highly visible content that is intended to be read or clicked on millions of times. I also translate general language texts from time to time.

My name is Hannes and I have a passion for interpreting and translating! I work with German (mother tongue), English (B-language) and French (C-language). I have the privilege of pursuing this activity in a wide variety of contexts. Whether it be comfortably translating in front of my laptop screen, interpreting in a small setting jotting down notes, or nestled between the walls of an interpreting booth, they are the moments that mean the world to me.
Regardless of the situation, quality is my top priority. I convey messages between my working languages with care, precision and keen intuition.
Thanks to my master's degree in Translation Studies with a specialisation in conference interpreting, I do not go about it in any old way: best practices and proven transfer strategies ensure that you can rely on accurate interpretations and translations.
It would be a pleasure to meet you!

Thanks to my master's degree in Translation Studies with a specialisation in conference interpreting, I know the art of interpreting and translation. Where laypeople break out in a sweat, I can rely on automatisms that guarantee quality.
Day after day, I am delighted to be able to pursue my passion for languages professionally. Grateful for my excellent training, I am now putting my knowledge to work for you.
Whether it's easy-going marketing texts, exciting events in front of an audience or emotionally demanding and intimate conversations in small groups—my agenda includes assignments in a wide variety of settings, which I have so far accompanied as an interpreter and translator or as a project manager and chef d'équipe.
I sincerely appreciate every one of your emails in my inbox. Even when things get stressful, the technology goes on strike or the agenda is changed at short notice, it's easy for me to remain friendly towards you and your customers— after all, a smile solves a thousand problems!
The world of communication continues to evolve! That is a good thing. It means I can always keep an eye on what is happening in the world and help shape new trends and developments—linguistically at least.
Some communication hurdles can only be overcome as a team—a skill my colleagues master on a professional level. So you can rely on consistent linguistic quality.
