Nina Sattler-Hovdar is a translator and transcreator working from English and Norwegian into German. Her expertise lies in transcreating marketing, advertising, corporate communication, public relations and other business-critical texts that require top translation and copywriting skills.
Based on her international experience in translation and marketing, Nina has become a well-known transcreator and sought-after speaker offering presentations, seminars, workshops, and webinars for international translators’ associations, language service companies and direct clients in various industries. She also works as a consultant and coach for freelance translators aspiring to gain a better position in the market and for companies looking to improve their interaction with language providers in marketing communications.
Her 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.
I am a graduate translator and conference interpreter and a proud member of the American Translators Association (ATA) and the German Federation of Interpreters and Translators (BDÜ).
As a translator, my expertise lies in accurately translating business texts, especially legal, financial, strategic marketing, and market research documents, with painstaking attention to detail and nuances.

My special expertise as a transcreator lies in the combination of longstanding translation experience with profound experience as a market 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.

“Recently, a new client asked me to translate some marketing material. I recommended they use my transcreation service instead. I would never have had the courage to do so before your workshop!”
“I wanted to thank you for your immensely useful book on transcreation! I recognized many typical situations and learned many new things. Thanks to you I got lots of inspiration and motivation on my way to becoming a transcreator!”
“Simply fantastic: Nina Sattler-Hovdar‘s new book is a must-read for communication professionals working with #transcreation. Loved every page, from the definitions about what transcreation is (and what not) to the recommendations for working with clients in this field. This valuable hands-on guide has a permanent place in my library :).”
“Thank you for this interesting course. Nina is very didactic and clear. It is a must not only for transcreators, but also for translators and copywriters. We should all know what this is about to make our clients aware of what our task involves.”
