Professional ethics
Integrity and professionalism are my top priorities. Through careful terminology research and linguistic accuracy, I work hard to always provide you with a translation focused on its target audience which renders the content of the source text in a refined yet natural style.
A linguistically correct and pleasing presentation is a key indicator of the professionalism, reliability and standing of your business. That is what you should keep in mind when flirting with the idea of saving money by employing unprofessional translators. Vice versa, it is in the interest of our profession to deliver the top quality you deserve.
Back to the top of this pageWhat's the difference between translation and interpretation?
Generally speaking, translation means to transfer a text inwritten form from one language to another whereas an interpreter rendersoral speech in real time from one language to another.
Further information about my qualifications as an interpreter can be found on the Interpreting page.
