Bio
Freelance Translator Profile


Welcome to My Translation Profile


I am a freelance translator and localization professional specializing in IT, technical, business, and marketing translations – translating as a full-time job since 1995.


Core Competencies

  • Excellent Czech language skills with a strong IT and technical background
  • Up-to-date experience with Microsoft translations
  • Thorough knowledge of industry-standard glossaries and style guides
  • Proficiency across various translation tools and platforms

Professional Journey

I began my translation and localization journey during my university studies in the early '90s, focusing on software development tools and supporting documentation. After graduation, I worked for several IT distribution companies as a
translator, manual writer, localization and publication manager. In 1995, I transitioned to full-time freelance translation. One of my first significant projects was translating the Czech version of the
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Workstation and
Server Resource Kit. Since then, I have translated hundreds of thousands of words across various specialties, contributing to both large translation projects and everyday tasks for translation agencies.


Selected Featured Projects

  • Complete user, service, and safety documentation for mobile cranes (110,000 words)
  • Corporate policies for a multinational company (130,000 words)
  • Music streaming website and legal texts (57,000 words)
  • Technical and marketing documents for a global car manufacturer (83,000 words, ongoing)
  • Website content for a world leader in natural cosmetics (45,000 words)
  • Product catalogues and technical documents for a bearings manufacturer (200,000+ words)
  • Operator and maintenance guides for forestry equipment (100,000+ words)
