I am an experienced translator who has translated hundreds of patents from Japanese, Chinese, Korean, German, and French to English. I have worked in a broad variety of patent fields, including biochem, electronics, automobiles, and semiconductors. I offer precise and rapid translations that closely mirror the patent style one might see in a U.S. patent, and can adapt to meet your preferences depending on the purpose of translation, be it for information or for filing. Examples of patents that I have translated for filing purposes are as follows:

EP2661055 A1 (translated from WO 2012090944 A1)

US 20120297808 A1 (translated from WO 2011092741 A1)

US 20130230799 A1 (translated from WO 2012063632 A1)


I also have extensive experience translating non-patent technical documents, especially articles for submission to scholarly journals. In this aspect of my professional work, I help researchers express themselves accurately and in a native style to better prepare for publication; I also help those who are interested in understanding the work of researchers published in other languages (either to establish prior art or to collect information for new research).


At this time, I am actively seeking to expand my experience in English-into-German translation. I am willing to offer steeply discounted translation rates in exchange for individual attention and instruction from an editor and/or proofreader in the interest of broadening my experience. The ideal project will be a relatively brief patent with a generous deadline.


I strive to be responsive, responsible, and easy to work with.
