I will check your ai or human german translation for quality
Where slang and wordplay actually survive translation
Hi, I'm Julia, a German native speaker with a degree in German and English Studies and 4 years of experience translating English fiction into German — Romance, Fantasy, and everything in between.

About this Gig
Is your German translation actually good or just technically correct?
I compare your original English text with an existing German translation (human or AI-generated) and flag everything that reads "off": stiff dialogue, lost jokes, mistranslated idioms, or slang that got translated literally instead of naturally.
What I check:
- Accuracy: Did the meaning survive?
- Natural tone: Does it sound like a native speaker wrote it?
- Dialogue & voice: Do characters still sound like themselves?
- Slang, humor & wordplay: Were they adapted, or lost in translation?
- Consistency: Names, terms, tone throughout
What you get:
A marked-up document with specific fixes and explanations not just "this is wrong," but why, and what I'd write instead.
Perfect for authors who used an AI translation and want a professional gut-check before publishing or simply want a second pair of native eyes on their book.
Send me a short sample, and I'll flag a few issues for free so you can see the kind of feedback you'd get.

FAQ
Do I need to provide both the original and the existing translation?
Yes — I compare your English original against the existing German translation (human or AI-generated) to check accuracy, tone, and natural phrasing side by side.
Can you tell if a translation was done by AI?
Often, yes. AI translations tend to be grammatically correct but stiff — literal idioms, flattened humor, and dialogue that doesn't sound like real speech. I flag exactly these issues, regardless of how the translation was made.
What if my translation just needs a few fixes, not a full review?
That's exactly what this service is for. Instead of a full retranslation, you get targeted feedback and corrections on what's actually not working — which is usually far more affordable than starting over.
Will you rewrite the whole text, or just point out problems?
Both — I mark specific issues directly in the text and provide a corrected version for each flagged passage, along with a brief explanation of why the original phrasing didn't work.
What if the translation turns out to be mostly fine?
Then you'll know that with confidence, too. Sometimes peace of mind — knowing your translation actually holds up — is worth just as much as finding errors.
Do you offer a free sample check before I order?
Yes! Send me a short excerpt of both the original and the translation, and I'll flag a few issues for free so you can see the kind of feedback you'd get.
What file formats do you accept?
Word documents (.docx), Google Docs, or plain text files work best — ideally with the original and translation clearly labeled or side by side.
