A few words about me, Susan Ring

After studying economics and German literature at University College Dublin, I emigrated to Germany in 1992 to study translation and then interpreting at the University of Applied Sciences in Cologne. I financed my studies by working as an English coach in large corporations in North Rhine-Westphalia and around Germany.

On completion of my translation and interpreting degrees in 1999, I founded Ring Interpreting, which was based in Wuppertal in the state of NRW. Then, in 2006, I completed a Master’s degree in Conference Interpreting in Cologne, subsequently taking up a lecturing position in simultaneous and consecutive interpreting and translation at the same institution.

After a year off in 2008 to travel the world, I returned to Germany and began to focus on translation project management.

Other services

Editing, proofreading and post-editing of machine translation (PEMT)

New technologies are making it easier to pre-translate texts using machine translation software. However, these technologies are only rarely able to do the job of technical or creative translation well.

Make sure your company maintains its positive image on the international stage by always having a professional translator proofread and revise pre-translated texts or text you have written yourself in a foreign language.

Our professional translation service in Berlin, Germany takes your drafted English texts and sends you back the finished product.

Transcreation

We take your German marketing or branding content and our translation specialists based in Berlin create a version in English that reads like it has been written in that language in the first place. This is called transcreation.

How is transcreation different from a straightforward translation?

Well, marketing and branding content in different languages is based on much more than language alone. Cultural, conceptual and tonal aspects are of the essence.

Our translators, transcreation and internationalisation specialists in Berlin work with you and your German text or concept to determine exactly what you want to communicate to an international audience. Once we have identified the key messages you want to communicate, we create your texts in English.

Corporate dictionaries and style guides

Corporate dictionaries and style guides ensure uniformity of corporate language across borders.

Ring Interpreting has developed corporate dictionaries and style guides in collaboration with several large companies in NRW, Munich and other areas of Germany, ensuring successful international communication. We like to keep things simple – the focus is on quality of the terminology rather than complex software.

Our translation specialists can help you develop professionally prepared corporate glossaries and style guides in Word or Excel so that you can use them with no further effort or investment.

Online coaching in English presentation skills

Improve your performance and gain confidence in speaking English in front of an audience. Practice and polish your presentation or speech in intensive online executive coaching sessions with Susan Ring.

This is much more than an English lesson. As a former simultaneous conference interpreter, with years of experience of typical errors German speakers tend to make when presenting in English, Susan can immediately identify what needs to be worked on and guide you towards getting the best out of your English skills.
