Balanced quinquelingual with four native languages (English-Welsh-French-Breton). Taught Irish as a university lecturer in Ireland. Long-time university academic specialising in Celtic as well as the anglophone and francophone cultural spheres. Expert linguist, historian and geographer with many published works (scholarly, translation).

My credentials are my academic record and experience. Furthermore, my specialist fields are not noted in any detail since what is required for most clients is a mastery of the languages in question and not examples of particular technical usages which are often easily acquired (with due consideration to those examples of highly technical language which are exempt from my contention). I am not dependent on income from translating so I can assess and liaise with customers before accepting a particular commission / recommending another translator.
