We can thank advances in the electromechanical systems known as "core shooters" for creating reliable sand (sand!) molds for these parts.

Bio

"Understand first, then translate."

Hi! I am Juchi, a professional German-to-English translator. I specialize in technical texts in engineering, manufacturing and IT. I have six years of experience translating thorny technical writing, where I leverage technical glossaries, research skills, and CAT software to deliver writing that is clear and accurate. The goal is first to understand the client's source document in its entirety, and only then to translate.

In 2020 I started a course of studies in civil engineering at RWTH Aachen University in Germany, with a concentration in hydraulic & geotechnical engineering. Going back to school and being a professional translator at the same time is not easy, but the two pursuits complement one another. It has been a great opportunity to develop a new translation specialization in civil engineering.

Clients who work with me benefit from my reliability and fastidious attention to detail. Because I am a native English speaker, your texts will be translated into English with the nuance that you would expect of a professional copywriter.

I am committed to delivering solutions that go beyond just translation. Describe your problem and I will work with you to find the best solution for your business.

In my free time I enjoy hiking, travel and reading nonfiction.
