Hi,
I'm a Swiss citizen living in Ireland, but I grew up in Chur and still have the Graubuenden Swiss-German accent you're looking for. Apart from writing news articles, poetry, and content for corporate clients, I translate transcripts and subtitles while also interpreting at workshops held in Switzerland. All my translation/interpreting work is from English into Swiss-German and vice versa.
I visit Chur at least twice a year and speak "Chur-German" several times a week.
I look forward to hearing from you and discussing the project in more detail.
With Best Wishes
Anita Alig
Hi there, I am a German native from Zurich, Switzerland and have been offering translations/transcriptions from German/Swiss German to English and vice versa since mid-2019.

Kind regards,
Nicolas
Hello, my name is Gabriel, I'm a native german-(dialect)-speaking computer-science student from South Tyrol, Italy. My region is nearby Swiss and because its also located in the alps, it has the nearly same dialect. (Nearly all dialects from the alps are & sound the same). I've recently discovered freelancing and would like to gain some experience.
A rough example in written form of how i speak nativly:
Hoila mein Nome isch Gabriel. I bin fun deitscher Muttersproch und kimm aus Südtirol. I studier Informatik on dor TFO in Bozen.
Greetings Gabriel
Hello,
my name is Daniel.
I am half Scottish and half Italian, and am completely fluent in German. My mastery of all three languages means there is no need for any translation software, and the translations will sound professional and natural.
I am an efficient and reliable person, who you can count on getting the job done. Additionally, I have a Masters Degree in Business and Management.
Since I am new to this Freelancer.com I have not yet had the chance to prove my skills yet, but hope to build a solid reputation.
Thanks.
Hi! I was born and grew up near St. Gallen, where I lived for the first 20 years of my life. Today, I work as a translator in Spanish and German and do transcriptions in both languages as well.
I’m a resident in Buenos Aires, Argentina, but I read daily Swiss Newspapers which makes me well informed about daily News.
Hope to hear from you!
Thank you very much!
Simone
