What I'm looking for

I am looking for localization or translation roles where I can create SEO-optimized marketing and technical content, work cross-culturally, and drive measurable visibility and conversion for international markets.

I am a freelance marketing translator and localization expert based in Munich, offering professional translations, transcreation and SEO-optimized content in Italian-German, English-German and Italian-English. I have a state exam in translation and specialized training from Civica Scuola Interpreti e Traduttori, with practical experience localizing websites, product content and marketing materials for German, Swiss and Italian markets.

My work includes technical and marketing translations for companies in renewable energy, e-commerce and software, content creation, newsletter management and Amazon Seller Central optimization (including PPC maintenance). I focus on culturally appropriate messaging, market-specific terminology and search-engine performance to help brands resonate across languages.
