About this Gig
Technical texts go wrong in translation when the translator does not understand the software. I am a native German senior software engineer, 10+ years in development, DevOps and IT security, fluent in English. I translate what I understand.
What I translate (English to German and German to English):
- Developer documentation, READMEs, API references
- Software UI strings, error messages, release notes
- Technical blog posts, white papers, product pages for B2B software
- Security policies and IT documentation
How I work:
- Correct technical terms, no word-by-word translation
- Code, commands and placeholders stay untouched
- A short glossary so terms stay consistent across your documents
- Markdown, HTML, JSON, YAML, PO and RESX files welcome
- du or Sie, formal or casual, as you need
Not offered: certified, legal or medical translation.
Send me the file or a sample before ordering and I confirm the word count and deadline.

FAQ
Do you use machine translation?
I may use tools for terminology lookup, but every sentence is written and checked by me.
Can you translate file formats directly?
Yes: Markdown, HTML, JSON, YAML, PO, RESX and plain text. Code and keys stay unchanged.
Is this a certified translation?
No. I do technical and software translation, not certified documents.
