Clients, please note: I translate from Spanish and Greek into English, not the other way around. I work in both UK and US English.

Expertise:
As a translator, I have tried to focus on specific fields, in order to be able to vouch for the quality of my work. These fields are: academic translations, marketing translations, tourism/environment, popular culture (journalism and website content, music and film criticism) and manuals/user guides (for medical devices, machinery, etc.).

Work ethic:
Providing a high-quality service is of the utmost importance to me and I would rather turn down a job than deliver a sub-standard translation.

Knowing one's strengths and limitations is essential in this profession - no translator is an expert in all areas of human knowledge. It is, therefore, extremely important to find the right translator for each job. For this reason, I never accept a project without first seeing the text and I do not accept projects outside of my areas of expertise. If I judge, according to my own high standards, that I am not up to the task, I am always happy to recommend a trusted colleague who specialises in the subject.

When I take on a project I first make sure that a) I have the required expertise in the particular field, b) I am familiar with the terminology used and c) I can deliver the translation on time.

All texts are thoroughly revised and proof-read by me before being delivered to the project manager/end client. It is understood that the formatting of the original file will be preserved, unless this violates a grammatical or cultural norm of the target language, or unless otherwise specified by the client.
