Years of Expertise

I’m Gabriella Einaga, a translator, interpreter, and language educator with over 35 years of experience helping people connect across cultures and borders. Born in Munich and raised in Bolzano, I bring a deep appreciation for multilingual life and Italian cultural nuance to everything I do.

My career began with academic studies in Philosophy, Foreign Languages, and Law at the Universities of Venice and Trento, followed by professional training in translation and interpretation in Munich and Bolzano. Over the decades, I’ve delivered precise translations and localization for global clients like Apple, Salesforce, and SFMOMA, specializing in legal, medical, art, tourism, and software fields. As a localization project manager at Quintiq and a translator for the European Consumer Association, I honed my skills in quality assurance and cross-cultural communication.

Beyond translation, I’ve taught Italian and German to students of all ages in Italy and California, designing immersive courses that celebrate linguistic diversity. My native fluency in Italian and German, proficiency in English, and expertise with tools like Trados Studio enable me to craft culturally sensitive solutions for individuals and organizations alike.

A longtime practitioner of the Japanese Tea Ceremony (3rd-degree instructor with tea name, Urasenke Foundation), I find joy in quiet presence and attentiveness—values I bring to every client relationship. Whether you’re pursuing citizenship or seeking to communicate across borders, I’m here to help you tell your story with clarity and care.
