Werner Patels
Translations that spark interest – and drive results. I craft translations that don’t just convey meaning, but truly connect. My expertise spans business and corporate communication, marketing, banking and insurance, law, life sciences, the environment, luxury brands, culture and lifestyle, tourism, IT, and storytelling that sells. From journal and magazine articles to editorials, websites, social media posts, press releases, reports, contracts, promotional and advertising copy, essays, research papers, manuals, and books – both fiction and non-fiction – I turn complex ideas into compelling, resonant language that speaks directly to your audience.
What truly drives me, and where I shine brightest, is translating essays, articles, papers, and books that spark thought, stir debate, and open minds. Politics, social issues, history, self-help, the arts and culture, education, entertainment, cutting-edge science and technology – and captivating fiction.
With decades of hands-on translation experience tucked under my belt, I specialize in bringing clarity, nuance, and a touch of flair to texts that matter. Whether it’s a sharp press release, an engaging website, a clever editorial, or a high-impact advertising campaign, I deliver translations that are precise, creative, and unmistakably human – no machine-made awkwardness here. I don’t just convert words; I carry across tone, intent, and resonance. I’ll take your text, your message, and make sure it lands – beautifully crafted and pitch-perfect. Having worked with high-profile clients, such as luxury brands, international organizations, governments (e.g. Province of Ontario, City of Toronto, Health Canada, municipal government of Quebec City), publishers, or Austria’s utility company Verbund, I bring deep subject knowledge, exceptional research skills, and linguistic agility to every project. I deliver clear, effective translations on tight deadlines, always adapting the voice and terminology to meet each client’s goals.
