Translation

I am fully qualified to translate from German, Italian and Romanian into my native language, English. Please see the “About me” page to see details of my qualifications. Prior to starting my freelance career, I gained years of experience in the translation industry as an in-house translator, so you can be confident that your text is in safe and experienced hands.

I use SDL Trados Studio to process some translations. If your text includes repetitions and can be processed using Trados Studio, I offer a discounted rate for texts including repetitions. Please contact me directly for details.

To ensure that you receive an accurate, well-researched and faultless end product, I will require a preview of any text before accepting it for translation/editing/proofreading, to ensure that the subject matter is within my competencies as a translator and editor.
