Anne-Sophie Seidler

French first name, German last name,

3 years in Colorado…

These three details tell you more about me than a long biography!

I’m living my everyday life within these three cultures (I spent 20 years in France, 22 years in Germany and 3 years in the US) and I’m cherry-picking the best qualities from them on my way (such as French humor and nonchalance, German work ethic and reliability, and American sociability and customer-friendly attitude). I love it!

Thanks to familiarity and affinity with those three cultures, my translations have been praised as natural and culture-appropriate, so you can expect to always get a top-notch product when we work together.

My motto?

The best translation is the one you don’t notice

My Goal

The transmission of language and culture was always the common thread throughout my different career choices and in my life. Translating, discovering new cultures and building bridges between people for a better understanding is my primary goal.

Do you need to translate a handbook for a computer program or a sewing machine? Please ask my colleagues! I love words and I love choosing the right ones. That’s why I enjoy translating texts that are designed to improve sales (marketing translation) or please the reader (transcreation), rather than translating technical manuals.
