Bio: 

Bridging the language gap for over 14 years.

For me, a great translation is the difference between software that merely works and software you can work with intuitively. That’s why I am dedicated to making Drupal accessible to the German-speaking world—one string at a time.

🚀 The Numbers (As of Jan 2026):

68,000+ approved translations.

14+ years of continuous contribution.

~4,500 translations per year on average.

I actively maintain the German translation for Drupal Core and the User Interface. My recent focus includes high-impact projects like Drupal CMS (Starshot), AI Core, ECA, and Varbase.

Beyond strings, I help maintain the German Drupal User Guide to ensure documentation is just as accessible as the code.
