MK Translations is a small translation office that was established in 1995 and is managed by me, Marjorie Kaufman. As a professional freelance translator and native speaker of German and English with 20 years of extensive, broad based experience in providing translation services in Israel and abroad to both, private and corporate customers, I offer translations of uncompromising quality in many subjects for German, English and Hebrew.

"It's not WHAT you say - it's HOW you say it!"

What is translation?
Translation is much more than just translating one language into another. Many people speak many languages, but not everybody, who speaks more than one language, has the skills to translate. Translation is a living art! In order to do their job well, translators - like any other academic professional - require specialized knowledge, skills, creativity and of course at least the knowledge of both languages on a native speaker level to become a high quality translation. High-quality translation also requires time to grasp the essence of the material, time to clarify the obscure and time to shape and recheck for consistent terminology and style to produce a worthy final product.
And remember: the more experience a freelancer has, the better the translation, not to mention the money and pain the customer saves himself.

At MK Translations a carefully selected team of skilled and professional translators, who translate into their native language, is at your disposal for translation orders into other European and East-European languages. I take pride in providing high quality, professional work, delivered on time.
I provide my customers, both private and corporate, with a service, which is second to none and I am proud of it. I will take care of even the most complex of translation projects - quickly and accurately! Needless to say that confidentiality is maintained at all times.

MK Translations
stands for high quality translation, timely delivery and reasonable cost! Reliability and customer satisfaction are my two most important goals, and I make it a point to go the extra mile to assure a positive client experience.
With MK Translations your translation orders are in good hands.

Among my customers are business enterprises, private companies, attorneys and notaries, physicians and medical institutions, governmental offices, translation agencies and private customers.

At MK Translations we also offer the following additional services:




Proofreading and Editing
Aside of high quality translations, I personally offer Proofreading and Editing for German and English. I will revise any text and adapt the style and terminology to match your needs. As a native of both languages I am in full command of orthography and grammar and I have a highly distinctive sense for either language. I am detail-oriented and committed to providing accurate translations. After all the suitable style as well as accurate consistent terminology is the core of any good translation. I also do formatting, which in my opinion is as important as an accurate translation.

Rush-Jobs
I will gladly be of service if you need a rush-job done. Once you have placed your order, I will immediately start working on it. Rush-job translations that have to be worked on immediately and/or involve overtime, night work or weekend work are subject to an extra charge.

Private Lessons for German or English on appointment
Would you like to learn German? Or "polish" your English? I offer private lessons for individuals.
For more information please contact me by mail or phone.

The Price




Each project is different and so are the rates. Important factors that influence the price calculation are volume, degree of difficulty, language combination and deadline of the order. I can only submit a binding offer after having reviewed the document to be translated. As a longtime member of the ITA (Israel Translators Association), I use the ITA recommended rate as guideline; the end price is always open for negotiations – the quality of my work is non-negotiable: I am committed to render high quality accurate translations.
