You need an ultra-reliable translation - and you need it quickly. Price is also a factor. With more than 100 translation jobs per year without a single complaint, I am in a position to offer you this unsurpassable excellence for German to English translations - in particular, patent translations.

My name is Kriemhild Zerling. I am a US citizen and have been living and working in Washington, DC, since 1978. As a freelance translator, I work with a number of agencies and have experience in many fields, especially relating to patents, patent forms, and patent correspondence.

Everything that you need to know

1. Inquiry

Send me your document by e-mail as a PDF or DOC file with the following information:

Name / company / address, contact person, telephone number, e-mail address, deadline, volume, delivery method (by e-mail or slow mail).

2. Pricing:

I will provide you with a free quote. The standard rate is US $.12 per word of the target (English) text. Please remember that you are dealing with a person, not a machine. Hence, to ensure the highest quality possible, no rush jobs will be considered.

Minimum order: US $50.00. The price depends on the type of text, field, degree of difficulty, style, nature (e.g. legibility), volume, deadline, type of translation (e.g. rough translation / working copy /

camera-ready translation). Additional charges: they apply to weekend and holiday jobs. An additional 25% will be charged for these extras.

Free translation: trivia jobs (like an e-mail message) of less than 50 words for regular customers.

3. Translation:

After your approval, I will complete the job. If during the translation, there are any questions, I will make contact with you to clarify these points. I do not offer special formats, like HTML, PDF, Powerpoint.

4. Delivery

Upon completion, I can send the translation back to you as a Wordperfect file or a MicrosoftWord file by e-mail attachment, on a diskette, or as a printout (hardcopy) on paper by mail (upon your request). Translations of Internet content will be sent as an MSWord document; no localization.

I will always work with you to meet your deadline.

5. Payment

You may pay by check/money order within 30 days upon receipt of invoice.

As an incentive to become a new customer, I will do the first 300 words absolutely free-of-charge for you.

PS: If you would like to see a sample translation, then continue to read below.

                             Original text

Die Düsenplatte des Schreibkopfes ist mit 96, 128, 192 bzw. 352 Düsen bestückt, die wiederum über 32 oder 64 Tintenkanäle versorgt werden. Um die Tintenkanäle herum befinden sich piezoelektrische Wandler. Wenn diese Wandler Steuerimpulse erhalten, entsteht kurzfristig Druck in den Kanälen. Dieser bewirkt das Herausschleudern der Tintentröpfchen, aus denen das Schriftbild entsteht. Die Tinte selbst wird durch die Schwerkraft zugeführt, eine Pumpe ist nicht erforderlich.

                      English Translation

The nozzle plate of the print head has 96, 128, 192 or 352 nozzles, which in turn are fed by 32 or 64 ink channels. Located around these ink channels are the piezoelectric transducers. When a train of pulses is sent to these transducers, the result is a brief increase of pressure in the channels and the ejection of ink droplets, forming the printed image. The ink itself is gravity fed; a pump is not necessary.
