Cathy Translates
What’s the difference between a human translation and a machine translation?
The original: königlich unterwegs durch die Stadt
​
Free translation tool: Royal on the road through the city
​
My solution: Rule the road
​
Why work with me?
When done well, translation doesn’t look, feel, or sound like translation. It becomes invisible, leaving your business to shine. But there’s a lot that goes into the art of standing out while blending in.
​
Cultural strategy
As your freelance translator, I’ll quickly become one of the team, committed to achieving your goals. I’ll annotate your translated text with notes in your mother tongue on cultural context and strategic advice to help you crack the British market.
Keeping it fresh​
Language and culture change constantly. As a British pop culture fan living in Germany, I’m immersed in the latest local references and trends. I’ll keep you in the loop and one step ahead of your competitors​.
​
Consistently excellent
Establishing your brand in a new language is about building trust by delivering quality consistently. With me, you’ll get a custom brand glossary to guide future translations, so you become known for your products and the way you speak about them.
English Translation Services for German ecommerce
I specialise in helping German ecommerce businesses grow in the British market.
​
In this space, there’s a maze of terminology, technical detail, and cultural difference to navigate. Drawing on my experience in the sector, my service goes beyond words to guide you in your promotion and messaging strategy and light the pathway to success.
