Take your
business-critical translations
to a new level

Nina Sattler-Hovdar is the founder, owner, and brain behind Transcreation Experts.

Nina is a graduate translator who grew up in Norway and Austria. She is probably the best known transcreator in the German market, with decades of experience in translating and writing texts that are meant to inform, engage, and inspire.

After graduation, Nina worked for several years in executive market and consumer research positions in the Americas, coordinating many international corporate accounts. With her combined experience from the translation and marketing worlds, she specializes in advertising, corporate communication, public relations and other texts that, due to their business-critical nature, require top skills in writing for different B2B and B2C audiences. She is also the author of two highly acclaimed books on transcreation and a frequently booked speaker.

Nina is fluent in German, English, Norwegian, and Spanish.

Knowing when to translate and when to rewrite, based on a client brief, is the special expertise that I help my clients with.

As a transcreator, I combine longstanding translation experience with profound experience as a market and consumer researcher (in both quantitative and qualitative studies) and copywriting for both B2B and B2C purposes.

Clients appreciate my unswerving dedication to crafting German texts based on their English or Norwegian source texts and adapting them to target reader perceptions — which is exactly what transcreation is about.

I am also a proud member of the American Translators Association (ATA) and the German Federation of Interpreters and Translators (BDÜ).

My highly praised German book on transcreation (“Translation-Transkreation – Vom Über-Setzen zum Über-Texten”) was published by the German Federal Association of Interpreters and Translators (BDÜ) in 2016, as the first (and so far only) book on the market dealing specifically with the subject of transcreation in a business context. Get fit for the future of transcreation is an English sequel to that book, with many additions, including checklists, workflows, and a bonus chapter answering more than 60 frequently asked questions

As a widely recognized expert in transcreation I am often asked to deliver speeches, workshops, and webinars — both for freelance and in-house linguists, as well as project managers, sales managers, account managers, and business development executives.

Contact me if you are interested in engaging me as a speaker or for a custom workshop specifically addressing the needs of your company. I am also available for one-on-one individual coaching sessions.
