Bio

Who am I?

  • I'm a professional freelance translator with vast experience in handling technical translations from English into Czech and I've been providing my quality services to my clients since 2002.
  • My technical education and in-depth knowledge of technical terminology, combined with several years of expertise and active cooperation with many engineering technicians, as well as direct clients have taught me that quality, deep understanding of front-end technologies, accuracy, reliability and meeting deadlines are the most imortant factors for manufacturers, agencies and the ultimate market.

What do I offer?

  • Technical translations
     I translate technical texts from English to Czech language. With the top-notch accuracy I am able to translate everything from simple documents to voluminous technical manuals and documentation.

  • Proofreading and editing
    I offer proofreading and/or editing of already translated technical documents. These services include careful checking of the text not only in terms of correct grammar, stylistics, accurate terminology used in the given field and overall quality of writing, but above all the meaning.

  • Localization of software, applications or websites
    I also test the correct functionality of the translated text for the final product. In other words, I check whether the target text is in the right form in the right place and whether its original meaning is preserved.
