In Germany

For over five years, Christiane Krug has been working as a freelance translator, specializing in converting documents written in Sütterlin and Kurrent script (16th-20th century) into Latin script. She has extensive experience in deciphering old German manuscripts and offers translation and transliteration services. 

She transliterates script into standard German, but can also translate into English.
