Rückmeldungen meines Lieblingskunden Trevor Bača:

Wow, Henning, you really do know how to translate this stuff. This is amazing ...
From my first impressions, I'm extremely impressed ...

OK; I read through the German last night and this morning and I love it; the translation is so ... beautiful. Many parts of the German read better than the original English.

What amazes me the most is that your German still manages to keep the same cadence as my English; where I have active verbs, you have active verbs; where I have passive verbs, you have passive verbs; where I insert an appositive, you insert a corresponding appositive, etc.
You've obviously done a lot of English translation work ...

(Genau genommen war es meine erste Auftragsübersetzung.)

Perfect! I really love the work you did for ČÁRY, it was so clear, I think clearer than the English, in fact.

It’s beautiful. Really. It’s such a great thing to be able to work with you on the German. Thank you so much.
