"Flexible, accurate translations suited to your needs!"

I am an avid reader and writer in both English and Korean, regularly writing my own novels and short stories. My graduation project from the Korean language programme I took was to write a short story in Korean. I have been working as a literary translator for German-English children’s book translations for sixth months and am currently taking university classes on Korean->English and German->Korean literary translation.

About Me

I specialise in flexibility and creativity.

I am in my final year of a BA Korean degree, with a focus on literature and history. I have spent the past year working largely on subtitling and translation in the arts and humanities. I also lived in Germany and Switzerland for 10 years.

Translation from Korean or German
Translation into British or American English both possible
Translation of any non-specialised content possible
Translation of creative content such as scripts, literature etc. possible
Video subtitling possible

Content I translate

Arts, Entertainment and literary content

I have edited subtitles on Korean dramas for a year on Viki, the biggest website for watching Asian TV outside of Asia. I have also translated children literature from German into English.

History and Humanities content

My degree is largely focused on history and culture so I can translate specialised content in these fields.

Market Research, Interviews, Non-Specialised content

I have translated market research and other non-specialised content for over a year for various companies. Industries have included manufacturing, technology, marketing and more.

This is how I solved a recent terminology, style, or linguistic challenge

In a children’s fantasy book I translated recently, there were many made up words such as the names of games, as well as names of characters that had a meaning. I created new words English that would be easy to understand whilst maintaining the feel of the made up words in the original language, and also translated the names into English in a way that incorporated the meaning but still sounded like a name.

Eva Markert, private / Babelcube

Keira translated a children’s book for me. This was partly a challenge, for example because some passages contained specially-coined vocabulary. Keira paid attention to detail and proved to be very cooperative. She took my comments into account and edited the text thoroughly, always looking for the best words and expressions, polishing the style and also keeping the recipients in mind. I can therefore recommend her as a translator.
