SERVICES

Hi! My name is Nicola Obert, I’m a freelance translator and audio describer. I'm located near Freiburg in Southern Germany.

I mainly offer translations from English to German (my native language). Depending on the text, I sometimes translate from German to English as well, mostly legal documents and certificates.

My focus lies in the audiovisual area: I translate films and write audio descriptions (film descriptions for the blind and visually impaired).

As a translator and audio describer I create error-free German texts. Therefore, please feel free to enquire about proofreading, too.

This way please for my reference projects.
