Recent Translations

Over the years, countless varied and challenging projects have landed on my desk. Below, I have listed a small selection of my work in order to give you an idea of the subjects and types of texts I deal with.

Economic and market outlook

Economic and market outlook of an insurance and investment service provider for the year 2018

Volume: about 18’000 words, English > German

What was exciting about the project: The report looked at the macroeconomic situation around the globe and I had to delve deep into the technical terms. Furthermore, it required the creation of a stylistically varied text containing much statistical data and information on market developments.

What I learned from the project: I was faced with the exciting challenge of having to constantly find new ways of expressing very similar passages in the source text, while at the same time remaining true to the original meaning.

Nature reserves in Europe

Descriptions of various nature reserves in Europe as part of a book project

Volume: about 23’500 words, English > German

What was exciting about the project: Due to time constraints for the book, we agreed on multiple deadlines. In parallel to the translation, the client put the finishing touches to the texts according to their own wishes. As a result, I received various client specifications during the project which needed to be implemented into the remaining parts. In addition, the client was also open to my own suggestions.

What I learned from the project: This project made my nature-loving heart beat faster. It gave me great pleasure to portray these wonderful protected landscapes in German. What is more, there was close consultation with the client, characterised by a pleasant give and take.

Client feedback: The client repeatedly expressed their satisfaction with the cooperation and the result.

Brochure on dental treatment

Information brochure about a dental treatment

Volume: about 1’400 words, French > German

What was exciting about the project: The aim of this brochure was to provide dentists with arguments to educate patients about a special dental treatment. Linguistically, therefore, the texts had to be targeted at both specialists and patients.

What I learned from the project: The fine line between writing for experts and customers is something I always find fascinating, as it calls for finesse for linguistic nuances. In this respect, the project enabled me to give free rein to my creativity.

Strategic and financial report

Strategic and financial report for the European works council of a company

Volume: about 5’700 words, French > German

What was exciting about the project: Naturally, the text was highly specialist, but at the same time the content needed to capture the target audience’s attention.

What I learned from the project: My roots lie in economics and so I was able to incorporate my business and financial expertise into this report.

Website – natural cosmetics

Website content in the field of natural cosmetics

Volume: about 3’300 words, French > German

What was exciting about the project: The texts needed to be formulated in a website-friendly way and yet also convey the high-quality characteristics and the ecological key principles behind the products in an intriguing manner.

What I learned from the project: Nature, the environment and the conservation of resources are close to my heart. Therefore I am committed to promoting ecological responsibility in society as part of my daily work. This translation is one of those projects that make a small but important contribution.

Clinical trial

Patient information about a clinical trial

Volume: about 5’400 words, English > German

What was exciting about the project: The project consisted of information and declarations of consent for children of different age groups: 7 years and under, 8 to 13 years and 14 to 16 years. The texts were customised to each age group.

What I learned from the project: For this project I weighed every word and sentence more often than usual in order to do justice to the original source text, as well as the young target audience and their own natural sense of language.

Leadership training

Leadership training for managers

Volume: about 9’500 words, French > German

What was exciting about the project: The primary aim was to convey theoretical knowledge and practical exercises in a stimulating and memorable way, so that the participants get as much as possible out of the training and also enjoy it.

What I learned from the project: The same or similar scientific concepts appeared as in another project on leadership training EN > GER, which allowed me to transfer my expertise to the French language.

Leadership training

Leadership training for managers

Volume: several projects – in total about 83’000 words, English > German

What was exciting about the project: Across several projects, different subject areas and competencies related to human resources management were explained, supported by scientific concepts from HR research and demonstrated by practical exercises and examples. I had to ensure that the terminology was consistent throughout all projects.

What I learned from the project: Occupational psychology is one of my greatest fields of interest. Linguistically speaking, the training courses needed to be engaging to ensure the participants stay on the ball and internalize what they have learned.

Brochure on respiratory disorders

Information brochure for patients and caregivers on respiratory disorders and respiratory equipment

Volume: several projects – in total about 19’600 words, English > German

What was exciting about the project: The translations were aimed at patients as well as healthcare professionals, so the lexicon needed to reflect both target audiences. In addition, an extensive glossary was provided, which had to be integrated across all projects to maintain consistency.

What I learned from the project: I was greatly fascinated by the entire topic of respiratory disorders, sleep apnoea and the corresponding treatments. From a linguistic point of view, it was an exciting challenge to always find the right balance between technical jargon and patient-oriented language.

Yvonne was a delight to work with! She clearly has great attention to details and thanks to her fluency in both English and German, she was able to help us translate several texts for use in an online software service for persons with disabilities. She was very efficient and professional in translating the material. We recommend Yvonne unreservedly.

Creatimo – Yvonne Kirsch

More than an occupation – a vocation

I can give you the short version: My job is my passion.

Or the long version: For me, a satisfying day is a day when I get to discover interesting topics from morning until night, when I get to juggle words, hone expressions, ponder subtleties and weigh up nuances to give my translations that perfect polish.

I suffuse each text with my enthusiasm, and your clients and business partners will sense this. They are as important to me as they are to you, which is why, as the ultimate target readers, they are always at the forefront of my translations.
