Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Simone
Hi there! As a translator, I support you with various language services (English/German), especially in the fields of IT, media, and marketing. I don't just run your files through an "AI" system, as is unfortunately too often the case nowadays, but you receive fluently formulated and publication-ready texts. And, unlike ChatGPT & Co., I naturally guarantee confidentiality too!
Services at a glance:
- Translation, Transcreation, Subtitling
- Editing, Proofreading
- Post-editing of machine translations (PEMT)
- Quality control, fact-checking, style advice
- Copywriting
Thanks to my academic background, attention to detail, research skills, and a penchant for creative writing (especially crime novels), I have the necessary expertise for a wide range of text types: from a 1-page press release to a 400-page technical book or novel.
Further information and work samples can be found on my website, and a short profile is available at simonelinke.com/1PP_Simone_Linke.pdf – I look forward to your non-binding inquiry!
(P.S.: I usually charge by the hour or by the word. The daily flat rate shown by Malt is therefore only for general orientation.)
