Dr. Nikolaus Iwanitzky

I work as a freelance translator, and I look forward to a fruitful cooperation with you. I was raised bilingually, and thus I am a native speaker of German and Polish. Additionally, I studied English, French, and Economics. Between 2013 and 2016 I held courses in English at the University of Kassel.

My key specializations in translation are: literature, philosophy, linguistics, politics, law, economics, sociology, psychology, sports science, nutrition, health, tourism, ecology, computer programs and electronics, press releases, scholarly articles, theses, abstracts as well as various print and Internet media (e.g. essays, articles, books, advertising material).

I am also open to collaborate on publications, contributions, reviews, and research projects. Furthermore, I work as a proofreader and editor of DeepL/machine translations.
