Franziska Reinstaedtler

Translation, localisation, presentations and ofimatic applications

Who is fluent in different languages is predestined to be a translator. But who also knows the differences between the use of the same language spoken in several areas and has lived in foreign countries, as Franziska, is predestined for localisation.

She is always occupied translating all kinds of texts and their localisation. It doesn’t matter whether it is a text for a web page, or for a description of a product, or for a brochure, or translating an e-mail or creating and translating a presentation in different languages.

And not being enough – which isn’t really when someone commands languages so easily as Franziska does – she also deals with ofimatic applications customized to clients requirements. Besides creating presentations with different language options she programs ofimatic applications in access and excel…

“Calderón de la Barca was right in affirming “Life is a dream” – life is only a dream. But reality shouldn’t be lost sight of. And the reality of several web sites, we can find surfing the Internet, doesn’t look that good in connection to the translation and localisation. It is not the same to translate a text for the Spanish market than for the South American one. There are too many differences and some translations could be really embarrassing.”
