Helping to broaden horizons - one translation at a time.

Jeff volling

Hi, I'm Jeff - born and raised in the USA, but living in SE Asia for nearly a decade.  Two of my greatest passions in life are foreign languages and books.  During the course of my language studies, I have been fortunate enough to learn French to an advanced level and German to a near-native level.  One thing I've noticed through my travels is that people have a lot of interesting things to tell - things that you can only hear if you know their language...until now.  It is my goal to bring some of these fascinating stories to the English-speaking world and help connect the world a bit more.

I do translations from German into English and hold a B.A. from Marquette University in German Language and Literature.  Furthermore, I completed level 10/10 at a summer immersion program in Germany, certified for C1 level on the European Framework of languages.

My work history is diverse - I've cleared tables, cleaned toilets, washed dishes, taught in schools, written for a health-based website, written on all sorts of topics, translated legal documents, volunteered, etc.  

 

Now, I'm a husband and a father who wants to bring the magic of human experience to the world through translation, just as I will do for my own daughter.

Author review:
Jeff is a fantastic translator, who had translated the children story to a wonderful and magical english story. I am very happy to have met Jeff here on babelcube, who was very communicative and freindly as well.
Not only that he had made a wonderfull great translation, but also it is to mention, that he worked super on his own, while waiting for some information through the author. In all very much recommendable, whom you must plan in for you next book translation!
