Thomas Laetsch | Voices
“Thomas Laetsch is an excellent translator. For about three years he translated for our company on an almost daily basis press releases for a leading global press release distribution agency. Thomas’ translations have always been characterized by their accuracy, excellent command of the German language and fluency. He is an inquisitive translator who does not hesitate to do thorough research to find the terms most suitable for the target audience. Thomas always delivered on time the translations of these press releases, whose deadlines were always tight. His translations were published online minutes after they were delivered. I highly recommend Thomas Laetsch for any German-language project that requires a polished, ready-for-publication style.”

“[...] It has been my recent pleasure to have Thomas Laetsch work with us (through a translation agency) as a Linguistic Reviewer and a Linguistic Tester on educational multimedia software products for children. Thomas’ Linguistic Reviewer work consisted of identifying the linguistic, cultural, and region-specific content in the software that may be a challenge to localize for the German market. As a Linguistic Tester, Thomas was responsible for verifying the appropriateness of the translation and its grammatical accuracy, and for making sure that the context was preserved in the software components of the German version. Thomas is proactive, reliable, resourceful and very thorough, and the quality of his work is therefore outstanding. It has been a pleasurable experience working with Thomas, and I believe that his linguistic skills and fantastic work ethic are great assets to any project.”

“[...] These days it seems to be normal for work such as this to be completed without any feedback to the people who helped bring the project to completion. The customer expects it to be on time and right, and only makes comments when these standards are not met. This project is an exception. We are pleased to let you know that the customer’s expectations were exceeded to the point that their pleasure was expressed to [us]. Specifically, the comments were directed at the accuracy and speed of the translations and at the overall professional level of the entire project. As a direct result [our company] has been awarded additional work and your talents will again need to be part of the team. We appreciate your continued high level of quality work within our partnership. [...]”
