I was born and raised in Germany and attended the University of Würzburg, where I received a Ph.D. in American Literature.
I worked 4 years as an in-house translator at Origin Systems, a subsidiary of Electronic Arts, in Austin, Texas. There, I was the German lead translator on such projects as System Shock, Wing Commander III and Wing Commander IV, Jane's F-15, AH-64D Longbow and Longbow 2. As a freelancer, I have translated a large number of games from English to German, such as Jane's WW2 Fighters, System Shock 2, Voyage, World of Goo, Gardens of Time and many others.
I was the German editor and German Language Lead for World of Warcraft: The Official Magazine.
I have also translated a series of novels in the military thriller/sf genre: Die Eden-Seuche, Reapers Rennen,Skulls Schatten, Eden-Exodus, Apokalypse in Austin, Drohung im Dunkeln, Die Dämonenseuchen, Die Todesseuchen, Brennpunkt Orion and numerous other fantasy and science fiction titles.

Author review: Frank is one of the best English to German translators on the market. He did a superb job on translating The Red Baron into German, and he has an encyclopedic knowledge of military terms and history that is of tremendous value. Frank should be the first person you contact for all your English to German translating needs. |

Author review: Frank is an incredible professional who is a breeze to work with. He's a hardcore perfectionist with an eye for detail that even few copy-editors can match. He went above and beyond simply translating and helped with marketing and even picking out homonyms and other errors in the text, all while answering every question, in detail, within hours. Most importantly, he delivered a near perfect product ahead of schedule. If you're looking for a freelancer that treats his projects with the same passion and dedication as his day job, then look no further. If you pass on the opportunity to hire him, well, you have no one to blame but yourself. |
