Services
I’m Katharina Pils, MA, a graphic designer and language specialist with a Master’s degree in translation and years of experience across art, culture, architecture, technical sciences, and professional proofreading for the language pair German-English.
For projects with special requirements, other language combinations, or uncommon subject areas, I collaborate with a broad network of experienced colleagues, ensuring maximum flexibility and on-time delivery.
All translations can be proofread by native speakers upon request, following the four-eyes principle for extra accuracy and quality. I use memoQ, a Trados-compatible translation tool, which supports pre-defined company- and subject-specific terminology, ensuring your texts are consistent and professional.
Of course, every project is handled with complete discretion and in accordance with professional translation standards. Whether you need precise technical translations, polished marketing copy, or culturally nuanced texts, I provide reliable, high-quality language solutions tailored to your needs.

Pricing
To receive a personalised quote for translation, proofreading, editing, or post-editing services, please send me your original text by email, as pricing and delivery time depend on the length, complexity, and subject matter of your document. Also let me know your deadline and, for translations, the target language. Short documents are subject to a minimum fee; otherwise, pricing is based on the length of the original text. Translations are charged per standard line; proofreading and post-editing is charged per hour.
For copywriting services, I need your desired word count, deadline, a glossary or keyword list, and ideally, reference texts that reflect your brand voice or style. Copywriting is also billed per hour and may include additional research time.
I will get back to you as soon as possible with a non-binding quote. Urgent requests are possible but may include an express delivery charge. If you would like to proceed with the order, please confirm your acceptance in writing via email. Work can begin only after written confirmation has been received. Please also include your billing address so we can include the invoice with your delivery.
You will receive your finished document via email, typically in Word, PDF, or another requested format. The invoice is payable within 30 days.
