Karoline Spiessl – German Translator & Interpreter

I am a specialised native German translator and conference interpreter based in beautiful Taupō, New Zealand. My clients value the high-quality of my work as well as my expertise and reliability. Flexibility is important to me, and I remain highly flexible for my clients. Translation ads an enormous value by increasing a company's reach, but it is not a standalone service. I work closely with marketing and communications departments to create the right message.

After obtaining my English-German translation and conference interpreting degrees in Germany (Dipl.-Übers.) and the UK (MSc), I worked full-time in digital marketing in Edinburgh, Scotland, which laid the foundation for my specialisation in marketing translations. I know SEO-friendly translation and optimisation better than most translators. In addition to marketing content, I have extensive experience in translating IT and medical texts, always following the latest developments in my fields of specialisation through continuous professional development.

I am committed to professional standards and member of the BDÜ (Germany), the UK Institute of Translation and Interpreting and the New Zealand Society of Translators and Interpreters, where I am actively involved. In 2021, I became a member of the German Association for Medical Documentation and Information Management (DVMD).
