Historical German Script Translation
I provide specialized transcription and translation services for historical documents written in old German scripts, including Sütterlin and Fraktur. With decades of experience in German-to-English translation and expertise in these unique scripts, I help clients uncover the stories and insights hidden in family letters, official records, and other historical documents. My goal is to offer accurate, culturally sensitive translations that allow you to connect with your heritage and preserve important memories across generations.
Kurrentschrift and Sütterlin
Kurrentschrift, a handwriting script used in the 18thand 19th centuries, and Sütterlin used from the early 20th century until World War II, are often challenging to interpret due to their distinctive curves and forms. I specialize in transcribing and translating Kurrentschrift and Sütterlin into clear, modern English, making your family letters, journals, and historical records accessible and easy to understand. My knowledge of historical German grammar and syntax ensures precise and faithful translations, preserving the original meaning and context.
Fraktur
Fraktur, a traditional Gothic typeface widely used in German printed materials from the 16th century onward, can be difficult to read without specialized knowledge. I provide transcription and translation services for Fraktur documents, such as official records, newspapers, and printed correspondence. With an eye for detail and an understanding of Fraktur’s stylistic nuances, I offer translations that accurately convey the text’s original content, allowing you to explore family histories and historical documents with ease.
