German in Illinois

Where German translation lands in Illinois

From Chicago, Aurora, Rockford to the rest of Illinois, German translation orders cluster around immigration filings, court exhibits, academic credentials, and corporate agreements. We align every document to the receiving office — USCIS, the courts, the DMV, or a licensing board — so it clears review the first time.

Every German translation is completed by a professional human translator and reviewed for accuracy, formatting, and terminology. Certified translations include a signed statement of accuracy, and notarization is available whenever a receiving authority requires it.

Link Translations has connected clients with professional linguists since 1995. If the German specialist you need is not listed in Illinois, our nationwide network and remote options mean we can still staff your project, usually within hours.

Translation in French (France) into English, Russian into English, German into English, and English into French (France).

My longest project so far has been a 7-month French proofreading contract with WorldBook Encyclopedia. It gave me the chance to use one of my best skills - research. Advertisements and other tricky texts are no problem, as I am very creative with words (though only when necessary!)

Translation in Croatian into English, Bosnian into English, Serbian (Latin) into English, and German into English.

My experience includes 4 years living in Croatia, where, as the translation and interpretation coordinator for the European Community Monitor Mission, my responsibilities included translating a wide variety of general and specialized texts from Croatian into English and vice-versa, consecutive and escort interpreting, managing a 10-member translation team, editing, and proofreading. In addition, I developed and implemented interpreter role-play training scenarios and tested and trained all interpreter and translator candidates for the ECMM’s large roster of freelancers. I have also lived in Germany and studied business and economics (in German) as well as German language at the University of Kiel. As in-house technical documentation staff for a German-owned US company for 10 years, I have extensive experience translating technical specifications, operations manuals and research reports relating to industrial equipment, as well as advertising materials, financial and legal documents, and news articles.
