GERMAN > ROMANIAN and ENGLISH ROMANIAN TRANSLATION / EDITING / PROOFREADING / MTPE / TRANSCREATION / LOCALIZATION Hello, and welcome to my profile! As a translator, transcreator, and localization specialist with more than 7 years of experience, I would be happy to work on your project and deliver accurate, well-researched, and creative Romanian texts that are fit for purpose and engage readers. Whether we’re talking about a service agreement, a punchy tagline, or UI text for an innovative SaaS product, I am ready to help you or your end clients unlock business opportunities on the Romanian market. Over the years, I have come to specialize in three main fields: Marketing translation (transcreation) Legal & business translation Web, app & software localization (On request, I might accept projects in fields that aren't listed above. Get in touch to tell me more about your content, and I'll decide if I'm confident working on it.) Among others, I hold certificates in Digital Marketing (Meta and Google Ads) and Localization Engineering . Before working as a translator, I gathered experience in journalism, entry-level programming (PHP, HTML, C++, CMS), and academic research (German and English history).

Long-term, stable coverage for Romanian projects with less vendor searching and stress. Fewer QA corrections and smoother project management. Translators who don’t use CAT tools properly, ignore style guides, or struggle with file formats cause rework. By working with me, you get a technology-savvy professional who saves you extra QA costs. On-time delivery and professional communication for predictable workflows, without the need for excessive supervision. Some freelancers submit late or go silent mid-project—I am not one of them. My reliability and responsiveness will reduce your administrative workload. By proactively flagging issues or ambiguities, I save you time and unnecessary back-and-forth. --------------------------------------------------------- More about my qualifications and the way I work: I hold a Bachelor's Degree in English and German Studies and a Master's Degree in Cultural Innovation and Creative Translation. I am certified by the Romanian Ministry of Justice to translate from and into English, German, and Romanian. I am an Associate Member of the American Translators Association and a Full Member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists (CIOL). I have lived, worked, and studied in Germany for five years.
