- "Translation is one of the few human activities in which the impossible occurs by principle.” Mariano Antolín Rato
- “Translators never come to rest; they are constantly in two places at the same time by building associations that carry the foreign into the known of their own language.” Rainer Schulte
I'm a 20-year old student of English and American Studies and German Literature at the University of Freiburg who enjoys translating texts.

[edit]Der Process - "Interpretation" section (Lasoave, Klippschliefer123, MayaTick, OIAM, Translator20)
Rathaus Freiburg im Breisgau (Hazelgilmore3344, TeIemachos, Translator20)
The Metarmophosis: Interpretation (my project)
I was also considering two other projects to work on: Rocky Mountain Nationalpark (E->D), Maine (E->D)
Suggestions for translations
[edit]Fürstenfeld --> I would recommend translating the section "Geschichte" (1145 words).
Ulmer Münster --> I would recommend translating the section "Kunstwerke in und am Münster" --> the subsection "Gestaltung der Portale" has 400 words, the subsection "Chorfenster" 570 words, the subsection "Chorgestühl" 325 words, and "Choraltar" + "Kapellen am Chor" taken together have 525 words. If we choose this project, we might translate two subsections (maybe "Gestaltung der Portale" and "Chorfenster" for a total of 970 words).
