3. Translations and publications

3.1. Translations

1978-2008 Translation of more than 300 books (German, French, Arabic) for German companies as professional translator. 100 into French, and more than 120 into German; these books are legal, economical and technical books. The professional translator has to translate in Germany between 10 until 15 pages per day. I have more 35 years of experiences in this sector; 10 pages x 200 days per year = 2000 pages divided by 200 pages per book = 10 books per year x 30 years of experiences = 300 books (more than 60,000 pages). We know that Germany is the second biggest exporter after China, with a volume of more than 1300 billions USD of exports every year. These books are documentations, studies, contracts, tenders, catalog of specifications, manuals for use, brochures etc.
