Translation and interpretation

German – Arabic – French – Italian

I offer professional translation and interpreting services between German, Arabic, French and Italian. My work combines linguistic precision with personalised service and the utmost confidentiality.

About me

I live and work in Berlin and grew up in a multilingual family in Luxembourg where I grew up speaking German, Italian, French and Luxembourgish. Following a one-year stay in Russia, I’ve studied Arabic Studies in Lyon, Cairo and Marburg. As well as Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), I speak Egyptian Arabic and understand the Syrian, Lebanese, Jordanian and Palestinian dialects. Thanks to my professional experience in the social and community sectors, I am also familiar with a variety of social and legal contexts.

These are recognised by public authorities, courts, universities, embassies and other institutions. I complete every translation myself and certify it in accordance with the applicable requirements. Confidentiality is a high priority.

Fair and socially responsible pricing

Language should be accessible to as many people as possible. That is why I offer a solidarity-based pricing structure. All services are billed transparently on an invoice basis. Anyone who wishes to voluntarily agree to a higher rate in order to support this solidarity-based pricing structure may also indicate this option.

🤝

For people in difficult financial circumstances

For example, people receiving basic income support (Grundsicherung) or asylum seeker's benefits (Asylbewerberleistungen) can request an individual price agreement.

🌱

For charitable and non-profit projects

Charities, associations and non-profit projects are offered tailored rates upon request.

💛

A solidarity contribution is possible

If you can afford it, you are free to agree a higher fee and thereby help to fund other projects.
