• "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.

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).
