Fields of expertise

  • Technical and IT translations

    Well, what can I say? It’s a man’s world, but I feel like a fish in the water in it.
    From thrust bearings to toric joints, from crankshaft to brake caliper, from gear chain
    to squaring shears, this universe has no secrets for me. The same goes for IT
    translations, living together with a computer engineer, I have been fully submerged
    in this sophisticated science: “disaster recovery”, “big data”, “full-duplex”, “hyper-
    threading”, “hot swappable”, “Infrastructure as a Service” (IaaS), bring it on!

  • Medical translations

    Each and every single translation needs to be accurate and correct, but this is even
    more important in the medical domain. One single error could have disastrous or
    even fatal consequences. This domain also requires an extensive knowledge of
    medical conditions and terminology. “Clearance”, for instance, has a total different
    meaning in medical than in technical documentation.

  • Financial and legal translations

    This is a very specific domain with an even more specific vocabulary. My background
    in economics and law - acquired during my secondary education - comes in very
    handy at this point. It comes to dotting all the i’s and crossing all the t’s when
    translating a financial report. Terms like “granny bond”, “grandfather clause”, “gray
    knight”, “stop and reverse”, “embedded derivative”, “marshalling of securities” etc. do
    no frighten me at all. These terms go to show a literal translation can lead to
    hilarious results.

  • General translations

    Last but not least, a lot of documents categorize under the denominator general. But
    most general documents contain some specialised terms or ideas anyway, so even
    this domain requires an extensive knowledge and a broad interest. From product
    catalogues to websites, from vacancies and curriculum vitaes to press articles, from
    beauty (hairstyles, cosmetics,...) to nutritional supplements, from cultural to
    gastronomic translations... The varierty of this domain is endless, so it always stays
    interesting.
