How I can help you

Areas of specialty

I specialise in the fields of international development, social sciences, education, travel, health care and sustainability.

Professional subtitling (including spotting!)

I provide frame-accurate time-coded subtitles including captions for deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences for eLearning courses and entertainment media.

Software and video game localisation

I use my language skills and passion for video game localisation to work towards better media accessibility.

Creative solutions to your translation needs

I have a background in creative writing and will love finding creative and idiomatic ways of conveying your message to your target audience.

Sustainability

The climate emergency is upon us. As a small business, I do all I can to minimise my carbon footprint. Don’t hesitate to ask me if you want to know more.

This is what motivates me to do my best work

Translating is like solving puzzles, with the difference that there isn’t a right or a wrong answer. There is, however, a feeling of accomplishment. I strive to find what I feel are the best solutions to translation riddles, such as wordplay, cultural references and character limits.

My professional methodology for a standard translation project is

Translation brief

First of all, I need some key information:

Language pair
Deadline
Delivery format
Audience and purpose: who is your target? What is the purpose of the text?
Reference material: do you have glossaries, style guides or existing translations? This is important to be consistent with your previous translations and your brand image.

Setting up project in translation software

I set up a new project on my translation tool with a dedicated translation memory and termbase.

Research and draft translation

I research on the topic of your translation, add terms to the termbase, and write a first draft.

Revision

I go through the text again to make sure the translation is accurate and idiomatic.

Proofreading

I run QA checks on my software and proofread the target text in its final format to avoid any typos or formatting issues.

This is how I manage terminology consistency in my area of expertise

I create and maintain termbases created using memoQ for each of my clients and domains. I only add terms to them after thorough research, and, if necessary, I modify them according to client feedback.
