Translation sample
Unicode is an industry-standard whose goal is to provide the means by which text of all forms and languages can be encoded for use by computers through a single character set.
Originally, text characters were represented in computers using byte-wide data: each printable character (and many non-printing, or "control" characters) was implemented using a single byte each, which allowed for 256 characters total.
However, globalization has created a need for computers to be able to accommodate many different alphabets (and other writing systems) from around the world in an interchangeable way.
The old encodings in use included ASCII or EBCDIC, but it was apparent that they were not capable of handling all the different characters and alphabets from around the world.
The solution to this problem was to create a set of "wide" 16-bit characters that would theoretically be able to accommodate most international language characters.
This new charset was first known as the Universal Character Set (UCS) and later standardized as Unicode.
However, after the first versions of the Unicode standard, it became clear that 65,535 (216) characters would still not be enough to represent every character from all scripts in existence, so the standard was amended to add sixteen supplementary planes of 65,536 characters each, thus bringing the total number of representable code points to 1,114,112.
To this date, less than 10% of that space is in use.

Traduzione di esempio
Unicode è uno standard industriale il cui obiettivo è quello di fornire un sistema che permetta di codificare il testo di qualsiasi forma e lingua per l'utilizzo da parte dei computer attraverso un unico set di caratteri.
Inizialmente, nei computer, i caratteri di testo erano rappresentati utilizzando dati in formato byte: ciascun carattere stampabile (e molti caratteri non stampabili, o “di controllo”) veniva eseguito utilizzando un singolo byte, per un totale di 256 caratteri.
La globalizzazione, tuttavia, ha reso necessario che i computer siano in grado di disporre di molti alfabeti diversi (e altri sistemi di scrittura) provenienti da tutto il mondo in modo intercambiabile.
Le precedenti codifiche utilizzate, pur includendo ASCII o EBCDIC, risultavano palesemente incapaci di gestire tutti i diversi caratteri e gli alfabeti provenienti da tutto il mondo.
La soluzione a questo problema è stata quella di creare una serie di caratteri “estesi” a 16 bit che, teoricamente, avrebbero potuto contenere la maggior parte dei caratteri linguistici internazionali.
Questo nuovo set di caratteri era inizialmente conosciuto come Universal Character Set (UCS), ma fu successivamente standardizzato come Unicode.
Ciò nonostante, in seguito alle prime versioni dello standard Unicode, risultò chiaro che 65.535 (216) caratteri non sarebbero stati ancora sufficienti a rappresentare ogni carattere di tutti i sistemi di scrittura esistenti, e per questo, lo standard è stato modificato per aggiungere sedici livelli integrativi di 65.536 caratteri ciascuno, portando così a 1.114.112 il numero totale di punti di codice rappresentabili.
Ad oggi, viene utilizzato meno del 10% di tale spazio.

Bio
English/Japanese into Italian translator with technical expertise
I translate from EN (UK/US) and JA into IT and the subject matters I am specialised in are tech, engineering, informatics, science and tourism. I offer Italian proofreading services as well.
As a freelance translator, I have been working for more than 5 years on a variety of projects both for agencies and for end clients. In addition, I took part in an internship at a translation agency in Northern Ireland (UK) as part of my Erasmus+ Traineeship programme for six months. During that time, I received extensive training in using CAT tools, such as SDL Trados and Wordfast, while working as an in-house translator. Furthermore, I double-checked the translated documents in order to guarantee that the translation was consistent and appropriately formatted before the final delivery.
I apply the knowledge gained from my past jobs and from the cultural exchange projects of my university years to translations. In particular:
(April 2015 - March 2017) I worked as a tourist office clerk in Naples historical city centre
(September - November 2013 ) "Boston pal "project. I had meetings with students of Boston University on a weekly basis in order to practice and improve speaking and conversational skills while discussing a variety of topics.
(October 2018 - April 2019) Internship at Stealth Translation Ltd.
