Bio

After nearly a decade of full-time translation, I now work part-time and I am available for translation mainly at weekends.


What do I do?

I translate marketing documents, product descriptions, service descriptions, company profiles and press releases – essentially, any document which aims to sell something.

I also translate business contracts, rental contracts, terms and conditions and user manuals.

My full-time role in logistics means I have a good understanding of the terminology of warehousing, freight, customs and shipping.

My philosophy?

A good translation shouldn't sound like a translation – it should sound like a natural original and that is what I deliver – every time.

How do I do that?

After crafting the translation with great care and attention to detail, I read through it twice to ensure accuracy and then, where possible, I use the Microsoft Word add-in, PerfectIt, to ensure consistency of spelling, punctuation and grammar through the translation.
