About trans-agrar
The heart and head of trans-agrar is Barbara Sabel. She covers the languages English and German and provides the project management in multilingual jobs.
"Viable translations are not found in dictionaries but in newspapers, ag magazines and books... and in dealers' stockrooms."
"The quality of the texts I produce must be such that I still enjoy reading them six months later."
"I enjoy the contrastive work with languages and take great pleasure in exploring creative solutions – within the field of agricultural engineering, which I find is a complex and exciting field."
