Bio

Hello, I'm Karsten from Hamburg, Germany. Thank you for having a look at my profile at ProZ.

I'm a bilingual linguist looking for reliable, long-term customers who need translations between German and Norwegian. I'm a native German, residing in Norway since the 1980s. After living, studying, and working in this country for almost 40 years, I know the Norwegian language and culture thoroughly. I've been teaching Norwegian as a second language for foreigners for many years. Since the corona-lockdown, I've met my students via Zoom and used an online learning management system. I would now like to use my bilingual language skills in translation.

Long-term working experience, both in the education, migration, and public administration field, has given me insight in several fields of professional language use in Norway. I work with migration and legal issues at the county governor's office (Statsforvalteren) in Trondheim daily. I've done both German and Norwegian language studies, including translation theory and practice. Recently, I finished a course in legal translation at the Norwegian School of Business in Bergen.

Some of my fields of experience are:
- Technical issues, manuals
- General medicine
- Educational system
- Tourism and related services
- Migration

I'm passionate about languages as a means of communication between people and about the linguistic work I'm doing. My aim as a translator is to deliver reliable translations that fit into the communication situation they will become part of.

Don't hesitate to get in touch - I'd really like to contribute to your projects and become part of your team of linguists.

Kind regards

Karsten Schroeder
