"I confirm that Änne Russell worked as an English into German translator for Integrated Language Services from 2005 until June 2017 when the agency ceased trading. During this period, Änne provided translations in the following subject areas: chemical (Avista), technical (Tetra, Panelock), training materials (Quintiles), marketing/websites (Edinburgh Festivals), legal/international child abduction (Scottish Executive Justice Department, Private and International Law Branch). At all times I have found Änne to be dependable, reliable and conscientious. She has consistently delivered high quality translations and has always met the deadlines agreed. I can confidently recommend Änne as a solid and reliable supplier of translation services." Hilary Knecht- Manager at ILS, a division of Heriot-Watt Trading Ltd

"Some years ago I translated plans for the reconstruction of a cross on top of a German cathedral which had suffered severe bomb damage during the war. It was a very difficult translation job which caused me sleepless nights at the time, but about two years later Änne returned from a visit to Germany bearing a very precious gift - a postcard photo of the newly constructed cross now on display in the cathedral. For me this was a memorable moment and the best example of job satisfaction that I could ever find." Grania Rogers- Freelance Translator

"Your skills at interpreting were more than impressive but, to be frank, what really pleased me about the day was the way you were able to understand and convey the messages in relation to what was on occasions very difficult technical material. I really am grateful." Maurice Hall- Department of Social Security, Head of Overseas Division

"Visiting Germany on numerous occasions, our head office is based there, I soon found that English speakers were not as common as I had thought. Off the beaten track we find real people and it is important to be able to speak some of the native language however bad a job you make of it.I was recommended to Änne Russell who would attempt to start at the beginning and over 10 lessons develop some of the basics. I feel as though I struggled as everything was different. Änne taught me the differences in sentence structure and German phrases I could use in my travels. I tested this when I went back to Germany and although my pronunciation must sound weird I got by. More so though it was a tremendous ice breaker. Just to be seen to be trying worked wonders." Clive Bell- Chairman of the European Workers Council at SCA Hygiene

"Danke für diese tollen Übersetzungen, liebe Änne! Eure englischen Texte haben uns wirklich positiv überrascht, weil wir bisher nur vergleichsweise technokratische Übersetzungen erleben durften! Wir haben erstmals das Gefühl, dass wir nicht nur technisch, sondern auch mit unseren sonstigen Anliegen inhaltlich voll verstanden worden sind. Dass auch die sprachlichen Nuancierungen aus unserer Muttersprache so wundervoll idiomatisch ins Englische transferiert wurden, war dann noch das Tröpfchen auf dem i. Es ist einfach wundervoll zu lesen. Herzlichen Dank – wir buchen euch bestimmt wieder!" Gerd Kleemeyer- Managing Director Gera Chemie & Managing Director Klemafol
