Bio

Copyright notice:
Copyright © 2009 Thayenga;
Copying, re-use, and/or extraction of any content of this page are strictly prohibited.

My business brochure is available in German, English and Spanish upon request, even though it does not contain any additional information that isn't already provided here on my profile page.

My native language is German. Living in a bilingual environment since the mid 1970's has made US-English my second mother tongue.

During my employment as in-house translator with the US Forces in Berlin, Germany, and since then I have proofread and edited uncountable documents (novels, poetry, screenplays), and translated / reviewed uncountable translations (German <> English) of Civil Engineering, Internet security, Cosmetic and other content.

Please do NOT ask me about my "best rate". I have my standard rates which always apply. Thank you for your consideration.


A list of all of my subtitle translation projects is available upon request (NDA permitting).

Other services:

Screenplay analysis (English).

Creative Writing services (German and English). When it is difficult to find just the right words, I will create them for you - perfect words for special occasions

Subtitling rates:

Depending on content, clarity of recording (how many people are speaking), and subject, my rates vary between 6.00 and 9.00 EUR per audio minute, or USD equivalent. There is a 20% surcharge for less than 48 hours turnaround. There will be a surcharge for the creation of time codes (transcription).



I am a published writer and poet, and a member of ISA (International Screenwriters' Association).

Please note: I have not and will not use anything related to Google regardless of what the Training Section on my page claims.


Additionally, I am interested in the various languages of the North American Natives.


For my poetry please visit my storefront at Lulu to check out my ebooks.
