Northern Rain Translations

Willkommen and welcome! My name is Jen Mendez and I am your friendly neighborhood language magician. If you are looking for someone to transform your German text into a whole new entity for an English-speaking audience, you have come to the right place.

With 8 years of professional experience, I can offer you translations that expertly walk the line between languages, maintaining the original message in a way that is comprehensible to its intended readers. Crafted by a native English speaker, your end product will be culturally relevant, written in a register appropriate for your audience, carefully researched, formatted to your specifications, and – perhaps best of all – will contain correct punctuation, grammar, and spelling.

My background as a musician and creative writer puts me in the unique position of approaching translation from an artistic perspective; the beat and rhythm of music are not unlike the pacing and intonation of words. Meanwhile, my studies in German Language and Literature with Applied Linguistics have given me the technical know-how to understand
language at a structural level. Combined, I am able to observe my work from a bird’s eye view
and fuse science with art to create a translation that can be effortlessly understood and appreciated.
