Anyone need translations into German?
« on: June 15, 2023, 05:00:16 AM »
If anyone's looking for another good translator from English to German, I've run out of work for my current translation team. They are a spousal team, native German speakers from Germany, currently living in the US, with university educations.

Their rates are in the middle ranges of what you might expect to pay--I won't quote numbers because that's between you and them.

For the books they did for me, there were zero negative reviews or comments on the translations. They did a great job. They were able to do books in the 75-100K word range in about three months time. They were doing my MSF, but if you had a different genre, YMMV.

Please email me at davidvandykeauthor at gmail dot com and I will provide their contact info if you are interested.



Never listen to people with no skin in the game.

I'm a lucky guy. I find the harder I work, the luckier I am.

Those who prefer their English sloppy have only themselves to thank if the advertisement writer uses his mastery of the vocabulary and syntax to mislead their weak minds.

Hmm. Your email address bounced... "No Such User" error.

I'd love to talk with them and ask for a couple of short story translations before committing to translating a trilogy (which is very much still in progress).
I copied and pasted the email address as you wrote it, then swapped out the appropriate bits...

Is there a missing letter or something?
