Translation
Linguistic and cultural know-how is everything. I pay special attention to transferring the content, style, and function of your text as accurately as possible into the target language of your choice, without compromising its quality. As a text expert, it is extremely important to me that the end-user of your text isn't interrupted by abnormalities which would mark the text as 'translated'.
Film
My professional focus is on subtitling. My passion for this field was born in 2010 when I worked for the french-german TV channel Arte in Strasbourg where I got the chance to learn subtitle editing with the help of the in-house editors. In 2014 I had the honor of subtitling my first documentary, Arlette, which gave me the courage to specialise in that area.
Proofreading
Proofreading includes all services of copy editing (see below) plus the correction of mistakes in the content. A text in its original language or a translation only achieves perfection if the end user doesn't notice any inconsistencies. To attain this goal, I make sure all criteria are met, and thus guarantee that you will gain the credibility of your clients.
Copy editing
In this step, the text will be examined for spelling, style, grammar, punctuation, etc. Don't just rely on spellcheck. Make sure your text is presented flawlessly.

Cheryl Angel · Point.360
Steffi is an real joy to work with. She goes above and beyond in her translations, unafraid to ask for clarification in order to give her clients the best translation possible. She is especially excellent in capturing the spirit of a translation, whether in comedic dialogue and puns, or within the gravity of a drama. In the year that my company has used her services, we have given her high-profile television and film assignments, and she has no problem maintaining confidentiality and adhering to exact client specifications. Overall, Steffi has proven herself to be an indispensable part of our roster, perfectly pleasant, respectful of deadlines and very communicative. I greatly recommend her services.
