Keeping your words in tune.
"It is normally supposed that something always gets lost in translation; I cling obstinately to the notion that something can also be gained."
- Salman Rushdie, Imaginary Homelands: Essays and Criticism 1981-1991
Welcome to Language Symphony
A symphony is a musical composition consisting of different movements that blend into one masterpiece. Similarly, translation can be regarded as a manifold piece of art combining different components into one coherent form of linguistic expression.
And this is what I do: I make sure that your words stay in tune - no matter whether German or English,

I am a creative, reliable and dedicated professional translator with a passion for words and languages.
Translator, Editor and Linguist
I am Kirsten Muller
As a native German speaker I provide translations for a variety of fields. As I have a passion and strength for creative use of language, my focus lies on fiction and creative content. Over the past years I completed several translations in the literary field ranging from LitRPG and romance to personalised children’s books.
I enjoy bringing the source’s words to life in the desired target language and making the text and its inherent magic available to a wider audience.
I compose translations that take the target readers cultural outlook into account while making sure your voice is heard. So-called “transcreations” are the core of my business.
My educational background and natural feel for language equip me with the necessary skills to bring your message across in all its facets.
Born and raised in Germany I am at home in South Africa since 2009. I not only work, but speak, think and dream in two languages l feel equally comfortable with: German and English.
Being at home in two cultures - and thus two languages - as well as my background in linguistics and social anthropology help me to create culturally sensitive translations that neither lack creativity nor professionalism. Thorough research is an essential part of my work and enables me to provide you with accurate and high-standard translations.
