Kristin Sobania, M.A. Freelance translator since 2000      In my activities as a freelance translator, I've decided to focus on financial topics and art. Especially in these times I consider art as being closely related to the world of finance, since a masterpiece never looses its intrinsic value.      In the 1990s, while still studying, I worked with academic translations and correspondence at the Institute for American Studies of the Goethe University in Frankfurt (Main). During my main course of study, I focused on seminars in the fields of fine arts and theatre. From this latter I chose a topic for my Master's Thesis which I volunteered to write in English.      Parallely, I invested a great deal of time in the research and investigation of global financial markets. Today financial translations represent the bigger part of my orders.      From 2000 onward, freelance translation has been my main occupation, and since then I've used all opportunities to employ, increase and extend my knowledge. Since to deliver a good translation doesn't mean that you just get all words and expressions right, it affords background knowledge and the understanding of the wider context.
