I have the tools of the trade and use them to ensure that the correct terminology is used, that the client's preferred terms are given priority (I take the time to discuss these with you if need be) and that the style of the translated text is perfectly readable and clear. No stone is left unturned in my quest for the perfect technical translation.

My greatest strengths are my attention to detail, my drive to always use the correct terms and to use them consistently, my familiarity with a variety of file formats (I am very comfortable with HTML) and my motivation to take note of any errors, irregularities and ambiguities, which allows my clients to have complete control over how problem points are ultimately dealt with.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ

If you are not willing to negotiate, please do not contact me. If you are looking for the cheapest translation, please look elsewhere. Translation is a craft, not a commodity.

I do not offer volume discounts. If I have twice as much text to translate, it will take me twice as long. My time is valuable.

I do not provide references - I find it unfair for my regular clients to have to respond to such requests. I do however offer selected sample translations that my clients agreed to share for this purpose. You can also take a look at my BlueBoard comments, my Project History and my WWA feedback.

I do not offer free test translations. I do, however, offer paid test translations; if you do ultimately decide to use my services, it will be my pleasure to deduct the amount paid for the test translation off my first invoice to you for a regular project.
