Management & Strategy Development
As a team leader in the automotive industry, I spent a long time looking for objective support for language processes – without success! This gave me an idea: why not support companies in optimizing their language and data strategies?
No sooner said than done! I quit my job at BMW, founded my own company – and was rewarded: since 2005, berns language consulting has been helping companies to organize their language processes efficiently. Together with my great team, I develop tailor-made solutions and am delighted with every successful year!

Terminology & language quality
My goal: to seamlessly combine terminology management and language quality to so that translation processes run efficiently and precisely. In doing so, I ensure that terminology and quality assurance dovetail perfectly. I am passionate about immersing myself in the world of terms and designations and act as an architect for Ontologies and knowledge networks. I was able to fully live out my enthusiasm for linguistics during my studies in language, communication and specialist translation – today I put it into practice.

My focus is on the introduction and optimization of AI-supported machine translation, the technical implementation in terminology and ontology projects as well as data transformation, e.g. during system changes. I share this knowledge in webinars and workshops and enable our customers to make the best possible use of modern language technology.

Marketing & Social Media
My enthusiasm for language has been with me for a long time – and during my Masters in “Terminology & Language Technology” the technical perspective was added. I am particularly fascinated by how language works in social media and generates reach. At blc, I can use precisely this combination: I support the marketing and social media team with linguistic sensitivity and analytical know-how in order to place our messages in a targeted manner.

Sophia Ackermann.
Computational linguist & NLP expert
My enthusiasm for language has been with me for a long time, but it was my interdisciplinary Master’s degree in general and applied linguistics and digital humanities at the University of Würzburg that sparked my interest in innovative technologies for language processing. Since 2022, I have been supporting our customers at the interface between man and machine – with intelligent and practical solutions, an eye for data and, if desired, a pinch of AI.

My enthusiasm for languages led me to a bachelor’s degree in translation studies and on to a master’s degree in “Translation, Communication and Language Technology”. In the process, my interest in the potential of modern language technologies and their impact on people grew.

AI development & language technology
My fascination for languages and linguistics led me to explore automatic language processing and machine translation in more detail. I have been studying computational linguistics for over two years and discovered my enthusiasm for machine learning and neural networks. At blc, my expertise flows into the development of the blc Data Toolkit – a framework developed by blc for processing language data – and into the evaluation of AI-supported systems.
