Background

[edit]
The translator at Boston Harbor

Formerly employed as a software engineer specializing in scientific and engineering applications, I coded primarily C++ and Perl under Linux. On March 31, 2008, I obtained a permit to live and work in Düsseldorf as a freelance technical translator. Recently, I have been translating various types of documents using primarily the translation memory tool WordFast Pro 3 version 3.4.14.

On the natural language front, I've passed the Goethe-Institute's Zentrale Oberstufenprüfung at CEFR level C2. I've also studied French for a couple of years, but never acquired much proficiency with it. Some day I'd like to master that language.

Objectives

[edit]


My objectives vis-à-vis Wikipedia are to

  • make German language articles available to anglophone readers,
  • acquire experience and exposure translating material from German into U.S. English, and
  • learn new things.
