Translating and Interpreting (simultaneous or consecutive) in all directions betweenChinese (3 dialects), Japanese, English and German with experience in patent law, chemistry, nuclear energy, automobile production, industry planning, informatics, musicology etc. Comprehension knowledge of 12 languages.

Extra Value by Interpreting:

low-key concise rendering during your thinking breaks makes the conversation flow more rhythmically and efficiently than between speakers of the same language; in the end you have a bilingual written record or declaration of intention ready for signing.

Extra Value by Translating:

language and media independently programmed documentation

Multilingual Hypertext is cheap and opens rationalisation perspectives compared to which monolingual documentation may turn out to have been quite expensive
