About me

A good translation does not just convey the same meaning, but it gets the music of the words right.

Mag. Silvia Glatzhofer

Conference interpreter, translator, founder and owner of glatzhofer translations, university lecturer, proofreader, editor, mentor.

Common European thought is the fruit of the immense toil of translators. Without translators, Europe would not exist; translators are more important than members of the European Parliament.

“Working with Ms. Glatzhofer was excellent. Aside from outstanding expertise, she independently interpreted the conference with vision and also assisted us in its organisation. All participants were extremely happy! We’re already looking forward to our next conferences together!”

“Ms. Glatzhofer has already been our interpreter of choice for years. She supports us at a wide variety of events in innovative settings (e.g. fishbowl discussions), in particular by providing top-quality simultaneous interpreting, even if the preparation time for the highly specialised content that’s to be discussed is often very last-minute. What’s more, she’s competent, reliable, flexible, calm and brings constructive ideas to the table to ensure all phases of our collaboration run smoothly.”
