About reliable translations llc

Barbara Jungwirth, reliable translations llc: I translate German technical and business documents into polished English appropriate for a specific audience and write about the business of translation. I grew up in Austria and have lived in the U.S. for over 25 years. As a result, I consider both German and English my native languages. I hold an Austrian "Abitur" (equivalent to a baccalaureate) and a U.S. Bachelor of Arts. Before becoming a translator, I provided IT support for 7 years, wrote software documentation in English and coded websites (HTML coding). For more information on my background, please visit my website, www.reliable-translations.com.
