Chinese and English translations at native speaker level
Professional English–German & Chinese–German translations for companies and agencies
Welcome to my website! I'm Egmont Schröder, a freelance English-German and Chinese-German translator and copywriter with technical and medical expertise.
I support companies, agencies, and private individuals in the precise translation of technical documentation, marketing texts, product descriptions, contracts, and much more – reliably, with a confident, stylistic approach, and tailored to the target audience.
Thanks to my many years of professional experience, absolute adherence to deadlines, and utmost attention to detail, I have already impressed numerous clients from a variety of industries.

Languages
English
From the Lingua Franca to the language of poets and thinkers
English is undoubtedly the most widely used language in the world. However, a successful translation requires more than just language skills; it also requires an understanding of cultural nuances, technical contexts, and stylistic nuances.
With a degree in linguistics and several years of living in English-speaking countries, I would like to help you translate your English source text into easily understandable, target-group-oriented, yet sophisticated German.
Chinese
Successful cooperation with China begins with the right translation
China is the fastest-growing economic power in the world, and for many companies, a partnership with the Middle Kingdom is crucial to success.
As a sinologist and linguist with many years of living experience in Taiwan, I can translate
business and
legal documents for the German market.
It is crucial that a native German speaker has unique insights into the cultural and linguistic nuances of the target language.
German
German as a target language – authentic, effective, target group-oriented
Your texts will be translated and written by a native German speaker who was born and raised in Germany and has a deep cultural understanding of the language and target audience.
This results in translations and content that are not only linguistically flawless, but also appear natural, convincing and are perfectly culturally adapted.
Services
Translations, proofreading
Are you looking for a reliable translator for English–German or Chinese–German? I am a native German speaker with a bachelor's degree in Sinology and Linguistics, as well as a trained dietician—a combination that combines linguistic precision with in-depth expertise in medicine, IT, and technology.
Since 2014, I have been working successfully as a freelance translator and also offer
proofreading and
editing services. Whether
clinical studies, user manuals, websites, or
marketing texts—I deliver content that is both technically accurate and linguistically compelling. Thanks to many years of experience and the use of modern CAT tools, I guarantee consistent, timely, and target-group-appropriate texts.
MTPE
I offer professional post-editing of machine translation (MTPE) for English–German and Chinese–German—always with the goal of transforming raw translations into high-quality, natural-sounding target texts.
Thanks to my experience with clinical texts, technical manuals, web content, and software localization, I can quickly identify common machine translation errors and correct them accordingly.
I work with modern CAT tools such as Trados Studio, Memsource, MemoQ, and Across, delivering consistent, high-quality results. I place particular emphasis on stylistic consistency, consistent terminology, and a targeted approach.
Copywriting, Content Writing & Transkreation
In an increasingly digital world, a compelling online presence determines business success. Professional advertising copy must not only be compelling linguistically, but also be specifically tailored to the target audience and optimized according to SEO criteria.
The same applies to transcreation – the creative adaptation of foreign-language marketing texts to the target market. A simple translation is not enough here: cultural subtleties, local expectations, and linguistic nuances must be precisely considered.
As an experienced linguist and copywriter, I'm happy to help you create content that is not only read, but also understood and clicked on.
