Leinhäuser Language Services GmbH

Leinhäuser Language Services is a company based in Munich, Germany that manages the translation, editing, and composition of texts from around the world for clients both big and small, from multinational corporations to local storefronts.

As one of Leinhäuser’s freelance editors since June 2017, I have comprehensively edited and copyedited a wide variety of texts, ranging from blog posts to corporate documentation and powerpoints. These have all been ESL texts, often translated from German, which require the subtle implementation of SEO keywords and tactics.

This work has honed my abilities as an ESL editor, and thoroughly developed my language localisation skills.

As a copywriter for Leinhäuser since June 2018, I have worked on one large project.

Working through Leinhäuser as a contractor for an international corporation, I helped write a standalone piece of marketing material (10,000 words) that combined the mythos of the company with its founder’s vision and history, and told the story of the company’s flagship product as the epitome of this combination.

First, 15 hours of research were conducted.

Next, 20 hours of drafting and brainstorming began, working with the company’s marketing manager to perfect the voice and the modular structure of the piece, so that if the reader opened onto any given page they would find a complete and compelling story.

Finally, after deciding on the ideal voice and structure, 20 hours were spent writing the copy and finalizing it with another editor at Leinhäuser.

The printed copies of this text have been translated into German, Mandarin, and Italian.
