Professional Translations, Editing and Terminology

From the Stuttgart Area to the World

Precision. Quality. Reliability.

I am Dr. Michelle Büscher, your bilingual expert for terminology, German-to-English translations, and
the editing of both English and German texts.

Born and raised in the USA, I have lived in Germany for over 35 years and have worked as a translator, editor, terminologist and language trainer for more than 25 years. With extensive experience in sectors such as simulation technology, mechanical engineering, information technology, the automotive industry, medical technology, and many others, I can ensure that your texts are not only accurate but also stylistically appropriate.
