English to German: Wikipedia Article "Translation"
Source text - English Translation is the communication of the meaning of a source-language text by means of an equivalent target-language text. Whereas interpreting undoubtedly antedates writing, translation began only after the appearance of written literature; there exist partial translations of the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh (ca. 2000 BCE) into Southwest Asian languages of the second millennium BCE.
Translators always risk inappropriate spill-over of source-language idiom and usage into the target-language translation. On the other hand, spill-overs have imported useful source-language calques and loanwords that have enriched the target languages. Indeed, translators have helped substantially to shape the languages into which they have translated.
Due to the demands of business documentation consequent to the Industrial Revolution that began in the mid-18th century, some translation specialties have become formalized, with dedicated schools and professional associations.
Translation - German Übersetzung ist die Kommunikation der Bedeutung eines quellsprachlichen Textes mittels eines äquivalenten zielsprachlichen Textes. Während Dolmetschen zweifellos älter ist als das Schreiben, tauchten Übersetzungen erst mit dem Aufkommen geschriebener Literatur auf. Es gibt teilweise Übersetzungen des sumerischen Gilgamesch-Epos (ca. 2000 v.u.Z.) in südwest-asiatische Sprachen aus dem zweiten Jahrtausend v.u.Z.
Für Übersetzer besteht immer die Gefahr eines unangebrachte „Überschwappens“ von quellsprachlichen Redensarten und Gestaltungsrichtlinien in die zielsprachliche Übersetzung. Andererseits hat solches Überschwappen nützliche quellsprachliche Lehnübersetzungen und Lehnwörter in die Zielsprache importiert und sie so bereichert. Tatsächlich haben Übersetzer substanzielle Beiträge geleistet, die Sprachen, in die sie übersetzt haben, zu formen.
Aufgrund der Nachfrage nach geschäftlicher Dokumentation in Folge der Industriellen Revolution, die Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts begann, wurden einige Übersetzungsgebiete mit eigenen Schulen und Berufsverbänden formalisiert.

Experience
Years of experience: 11. Registered at ProZ.com: Jun 2013.
I am a native German speaker and I lived in Germany for the most part of my live working as a nurse until June 2013 when I decided to guit that job and travel the world indefinetely.
I started working as a freelance translator and became a PADI Scuba Instructor.
I'm an active Instructor teaching in both English and German and am thus well versed in diving terminology in both languages which is why I decided to specialize in that field.
If you have a diving related website and want to attract more German customers, I'm your man!
