Who we are
We are two native German speakers holding degrees in medicine and physics, respectively. We employ our technical knowledge for freelance translations of English texts into German, using up-to-date computing and communications equipment. Our qualifications are ...
in medicine (Cordula Hallensleben): Full German and English registration as a doctor; two years of clinical experience in a variety of fields
in physics (Sebastian Hallensleben): German Vordiplom (Tuebingen) and English MSc and PhD (Sussex).
Would you like to see a sample of our work? You can find sample translations with medical, physical, and general subjects here.

Our services
We translate English texts dealing with medical or physical subjects, as well as non-specialized texts. Examples are journal articles, abstracts, presentations, manuals, leaflets, letters, even books (provided that you do not insist on getting the translation within a day). We will not automatically do a standard translation, but will discuss your individual requirements with you. You might for example need ...
a 1:1 translation, including tables, figure captions, formatting etc.
only a translation of the raw text that you can insert into your own templates
a German resume of a lengthy text
editing or proofreading of an existing German translation
a translation tailored to a particular target audience
We can supply translations via email, via fax, on disk, or as hardcopy. Using the import and export filters of MS Office we can deal with a wide range of file formats.
We will provide a quick and reliable service, delivering to you translations which are both accurate and of good style. If we should feel that we are not fully competent to translate a particular text, we will
say so, and, if possible, give you the contact details of another translator who might be able to tackle it.
