The philologist as translator
New philology is a master studies with a long history. Eloquent humanists with their background of language studies are trained and versatile generalists, who adopt important issues and their terminologies rapidly and precisely.
All competences are built upon trained precision and also accuracy. They know exactly how deep and wide a translation can be. They know the importance of having read a special subject in the correct way and thus of finding the close equivalent in another language.
I provide you this combination, it benefits you, and I support you in your projects in German, English and Portuguese.
I am looking forward to receiving your requests!
