I am a state-certified translator and have been translating for over 40 years. I am an American and have also lived and been educated in England (so I speak "both" versions of English). I have been living in Germany for about 40 years, so am fully fluent in the German language and know the culture and business vernacular extremely well. I studied history and political science and served in the military as an officer for many years and have worked in the industrial sector - so these are the areas with which I am very familiar.
