IT freelance German technical writer since 1999, with experience in writing and localizing English<>German GUIs, technical texts, manuals, websites.

My GULP profile/CV is at https://www.gulp.de/gulp2/home/resume/grossmann?1. I'm also a member of the "tekom" (German association for technical documentation).

I'm specialized in software documentation, and in the last years especially in SAP translation.

In this field, I also work within the SAP R/3 system (development and test environments), for example:
* analyzing transports, packages, tables, menus, customizing data
* doing manual translations in SAP with the transactions SE63 and SLXT
* translating SAP GUIs of all modules with the tool SNP Dragoman (which I helped introducing into the company as one of two project members, so I dealt with a lot of SAP details)
* establishing a translation workflow for the SAP GUI terms, translating those either myself or giving them to my team
* establishing a translation workflow for SAP user documentation in a Confluence wiki, supporting the editors and ensuring the quality of my team's work
* as of late, also helping to compile SAP development documentation from various sources

Being close to bilingual, my German clients have found me to be a great match for their increasingly German/English IT environment, because I'm a very experienced software user/tester/techwriter and a translator in one person. For top English quality, I've cooperated with US editors with great results.

I'm also very experienced with long-distance work over the Internet, being able to work over VPN, via PKI web logins etc.

If you need any support in the field of software documentation and technical texts, I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
