Help: How to turn my CEFR C2 German proficiency and SDL Trados 2022 setup into a remote translation contract (need contacts)

I’ve spent the last 3 years polishing my German to a solid C2 level (official Zertifikat, not just a self‑assessment). My toolbox now includes:

  • SDL Trados Studio 2022 (full licence, TM with 5 M+ segments)
  • memoQ 9.5, Wordfast Classic, and a custom XLIFF workflow
  • ISO 17100‑compliant QA process (LISA QA, 2‑pass check)

I’m trying to break into the remote tech‑translation market – think SaaS UI strings, API docs, and dev‑ops manuals. The problem? I have the gear and the credentials, but no one seems to know I’m looking. If you’re at a startup that needs German localisation, or you know a hiring manager who values a proper MTPE pipeline (including DeepL API v2 and a post‑editing rate of < 15 % MT), drop a line.

What I can offer:

  • 0‑day turnaround on XLIFF files (average 1200 words/hr)
  • Consistent terminology management via SDL MultiTerm Server
  • Quick integration with CI/CD (GitLab CI, Dockerised TMX updates)

Any leads, referrals, or even a quick chat about your localisation stack would be hugely appreciated. I’ll gladly share a sample project (e.g., a 10k‑word technical manual I translated for a German‑based robotics firm) and discuss rates – I’m flexible, but I need to start billing soon.

Thanks for any help. If you’re not hiring, feel free to upvote or comment with suggestions on how to get noticed in the niche German‑tech localisation scene.
