About
DeFrEnT Christopher Köbel specialises in technical and marketing translations with a particular focus on the plastics industry as well as B2B software and cloud services. For my clients, I provide high-quality translations in German, French and English from the user interface (UI) or human-machine interface (HMI) to the corresponding technical documentation and help texts to suitable copy adapted to the target market.
Furthermore, I am happy to assist you in translating patent claims into the three main EU languages.
For private clients and companies, I also offer certified translations of civil status documents, testimonials and certificates.
Customers appreciate the speedy delivery of my self-edited translations, the open and friendly communication and the “extra mile” I go for my clients to standardise their multilingual corporate terminology or provide suggestions for optimising their source texts – and all this at a very reasonable price!
