Armin Mutscheller,
Graduate Translator

translator,
LECTURER AND COPYWRITER

In 1991, I graduated in translation studies (English, French) from the University of Heidelberg’s Institute of Translation and Interpreting (IÜD) and was awarded the academic degree Diplom-Übersetzer (Graduate Translator). Previously, I had studied English and American Studies, Romance Studies and Geography at the University of Würzburg.

I specialize in medical translation and technical translation, proofreading, copywriting, and terminology management. During my studies, I also trained as a paramedic and worked for some 10 years in that profession. I am also a co-founder and honorary chairman of SIRIUS e.V., a self-help organization for people with Smith-Magenis syndrome, an autistic spectrum disorder.

Another key area of my work is technical and methodological consulting on linguistic issues. I support companies primarily in the linguistic optimization and translation of marketing texts and in the design of the corresponding workflows. For fellow translators, I conduct seminars in cooperation with the German Federal Association of Translators and Interpreters (BDÜ), in which I teach mainly technical and media-related skills. As part of my lectureship at the Institute for Translation and Interpreting at the University of Heidelberg, I instruct students in the art of cross-cultural translation and provide advanced language training.

In 2014, I was sworn in as a publicly appointed and sworn translator for the English language pursuant to Sec. 15 of the German Courts Act (AGGVG) by the president of the Regional Court Heidelberg.
