Testimonials
A good reference can say more than a thousand words.
“Professional, reliable, flexible and impressive on every level – with an instinctive feel for the perfect turn of phrase and invaluable whenever in-depth specialist knowledge is required. When it comes to more complex matters, Paula always has the context in mind and scores extra points for her accuracy and precision. A pleasure to work with!”

“I worked with Paula for over a decade – through stressful deadlines, unforeseeable changes, long nights and last-minute manoeuvres. Throughout all of those years, she was my rock, on both a personal and a professional level: always professional, team-oriented and reliable. Her translations and proofreading were always fast, precise and of a very high quality.
What I really appreciate about Paula is the fact that she is quick to respond, flexible and has a feel for language that is irreplaceable in these times of AI tools. Native speakers like her not only strike the right note in terms of tone, but also give texts the nuance, clarity and human warmth that no translation tool is capable of.”

“We’ve worked with Paula Hedley for about five years and appreciate her professional translations, in particular with difficult job postings, training concepts and complex business requirements. Paula’s translations are of the highest linguistic standard, she even familiarises herself with technical subjects and queries them in context, as well as being extremely reliable and a very pleasant contact. Thanks to her services we have already been able to win very important clients and boost our international business.”

“How do you say ‘messenger bag with piped edging’ in English? And how can I find a witty way to say when someone looks like a dog’s dinner in their latest outfit? ‘He grasped into the toilet’ would be the literal translation from the German! Probably not a good idea, but luckily I don’t ever need to worry about that because I have Paula who always translates my articles conscientiously, at lightning speed and with a great sense of humour. Regardless of whether it’s a snappy column for a magazine, collection descriptions or tradeshow reports – Paula can do (and seems to know) it all, making the texts I write as a fashion journalist accessible to an international audience. Thank you, lovely Trend Translations: what would I do without you?”
Gerlind Hector / Journalist
(Munich)
“We are so on the same wavelength. Paula knows exactly what I mean without me even having to say very much. Before you know it, everything is already translated just the way I envisioned. She knows how to transform my creative outpourings into a condensed written form - like an old couple who only need to look into each other’s eyes to know what they’re thinking!”

“When it comes to communicating the beauty of shapes and colours, and especially the statements an artwork is trying to make, it’s essential to find the right words. That’s why we’re happy to have found a reliable and fastidious translator in Paula Hedley, who we’ve been working with for a number of years now.”
