The Company
After a several months’ period of preparation, the company owning the verbaliter site was declared as a one person’s company at the Munich Gewerbeamt. So it is simply named according to its founder’s name, Hans-Rudolf Hower, and is still in its implementation period in every respect.

The Founder
This is the founder of the company, during his Easter holidays, in 2002:

Really, I do not look like a manager here, but note the symbolic importance of the photo: verbaliter is in the gun-barrel, my hand is at the fuse, and here we go!
My cultural background was actually formed by humanities (theological, orientalistic and classical studies in Heidelberg, Romance studies in Heidelberg and Aix-en-Provence, German studies in Strasbourg, the latter with an official degree for a change...). Afterwards I had a many years’ experience in the field of information technology, especially as a software developer programming and describing various kinds of software (multiilingual databases, interlinear translations, automatic generation of technical and commercial dictionaries, internationalisations (among others, an arabisation), project management, accountancy, expert systems, management information systems), as a technical writer making user manuals for intelligent phone services, and as a project manager in all of these domains.
Due to these activities I had often to work as a translator, especially between German, Frenche, English, and Italian, or to write user manuals and presentation papers directly in the foreign language.
During my spare time it occurred to me to write some articles in Italian for the Venetian magazine Mondo lusofono, about topics coming from Internet sites in Spanish and Portuguese.
I do not even shrink from translating interesting texts from several other foreign languages, as you can see in several offers contained in these pages. This is, so to say, a by-product of my predilection which consists in travelling about in Europe and reading literature in its original language if ever possible...
After the end of my regular employment I am spending my inceased “leasure time” with free-lance translations as well as with the tasks set to myself by verbaliter.
His Support
In all the above-mentioned activities I have been supported, above all, by my wife Danielle, mother and main educator of our three children, French native speaker, English studies in Aix-en-Provence (oh yes, it’s there we met us...), then English grammar-school teacher in France, now French teacher at the Munich adult education centre, sometimes equally German teacher for French-speaking African people seeking asylum in Munich, and at least as fanatical a reader of literature as myself. Judge yourself:
