Language Services
Hi, I’m Maria Lingsminat, an interpreter and translator for German, English and Spanish.
When every word counts, count on me.
Interpreting and translating with care and precision
I offer professional interpreting and translation services between German and English, with a focus on public institutions, healthcare settings, courts, and conferences.
With over 10 years of experience, I support clients in critical contexts where clear and culturally sensitive communication is essential. In addition, I translate specialist documents for ministries, government agencies, and NGOs in the fields of law, education, politics, and social affairs.
For Spanish, I am state-certified and sworn by the President of the Berlin Regional Court. My English skills are certified at C2 level, ensuring reliable and precise linguistic support in both languages.
WHEN EVERY WORD COUNTS, COUNT ON ME.
When language becomes a barrier
Sometimes, language barriers can present a real challenge—whether you’re managing international projects in a company, working for a public authority, social organisation or clinic, or making an important decision as a private individual. Especially when it comes to legal, medical or highly confidential matters, “roughly understood” or “automatically translated” is rarely sufficient.
Small mistakes, big impact
In a hospital or at an important conference, a mistranslated word can have fatal consequences. In government agencies or courts, misunderstandings can have a lasting impact on your future. AI translation or dumping prices may be tempting, but the ramifications of mistakes – whether through costly corrections or irreparable damage – are immeasurable.
Professional and confidential
This is where I come in: as a state-certified and court-sworn (Spanish) interpreter and translator, I offer you legally compliant and accurate language services. Whether for your company, public authorities, social institutions, in court or in hospital – I ensure that all communication is conveyed confidentially and professionally. Transparent billing, fair prices and personal service included. When every word counts, count on me!
What I can do for you:
WITH CARE AND PRECISION
Interpreting
Interpreting services in German and English – on site and remotely
Whether at the doctor’s, at conferences, in the political arena or in companies – as a sworn interpreter for Spanish and professional interpreter for English, I will provide reliable support for your event.
Simultaneous interpreting (e.g. conferences, panels, live streams)
Consecutive interpreting (e.g. interviews, speeches, consultations)
Whisper interpreting
Negotiation interpreting
Telephone interpreting & video interpreting – ideal for online meetings or hybrid formats
On-site assignments are mainly possible in Berlin, but for projects lasting several days, I can also travel throughout Germany or abroad.
RESEARCH AND SPECIALISED TERMINOLOGY INCLUDED
Professional translations
Specialised translations – education, science, politics
As a graduate philologist, political scientist and Latin American studies scholar with professional experience in academia and politics, I offer particularly well-founded translations for:
Education & pedagogical concepts
Social sciences & humanities
Political science & international cooperation
Specialised texts from philology & linguistics
Political communication (e.g. speeches, dossiers, campaigns)
I work meticulously, conduct thorough research to ensure terminological accuracy, and convey complex content idiomatically in the target languages – German ⇄ English and German ⇄ Spanish.
WHAT I STAND FOR:
Certified
The professional titles ‘interpreter’ and ‘translator’ are not protected. Anyone can call themselves an interpreter or translator and offer language services. I am state-certified, sworn to provide complete and accurate translations for Spanish, and bound by the professional code of conduct and code of ethics of the Federal Association of Interpreters and Translators (BDÜ).
I interpret with care AND precision. It is part of my job to literally lend my voice to others. For me, empathy is just as much a part of my work as achieving the greatest possible precision in tone and content.
I charge either according to the flat rate specified in your free quote or in accordance with the applicable German law on compensation for judicial services (JVEG). This way, you always know what to expect. No hidden costs.
Somewhere between high-priced agencies and dumping prices, there is still such a thing as a good price-performance ratio. With me, you are guaranteed high quality at fair prices.
