Experience and services

Having worked in the business sector for over 30 years, I translated the following documents – and can do the same for you.

• General business texts (in-company communications, business letters, company proposals, business/management books)

• Financial texts (such as business plans, annual reports, and prospectuses)

• Commercial (sales) and marketing texts (brochures, flyers, market studies, commercial texts and white papers)

• Advertising copy (localised),

• HR-related texts (employee handbooks, codes of conduct, training and development material, newsletters, general internal communications, questionnaires, and surveys),

• Websites (including localisation and SEO),

• Travel and tourism texts,

• Academic historical texts.

My academic research background and extensive business experience have resulted in understanding the context of a wide variety of subjects. I know how to research and find the appropriate terms for even fairly specialised texts. 

My translations capture the tone of voice of the source text and transfer it faithfully to the target text. One of my strong points is translating the meaning to another language and culture while remaining true to the source text.
