Summary
I’m Adam Mounsey – a qualified and experienced linguist and translator. Originally from the United Kingdom and a native English speaker, I have been based in Oldenburg (Germany) since 2014. With a Master’s degree in Professional Translation and a Bachelor’s degree in Modern Languages, as well as continuous professional development in the form of webinars since starting life as a full-time translator in 2014, I have the skills and experience to provide high-quality translation, editing and proofreading services for local, national and international clients.
My goal is to contribute towards your company’s success by providing accurate texts that take the intended reader into account. After all, the translation process is about so much more than just translating a text word by word. That’s why I make sure that the style and register of the translation enable your message to be successfully communicated to your target audience. I pay attention to detail and always produce precise and clear translations that meet clients’ needs and deadlines.
