Bio
Specialization / Background:

– 14 years experience of freelance translation work, mainly focusing on manuals, handbooks, websites, user interface/strings, in the fields of IT/Software, engineering and medical equipment. Also marketing material, questionnaires, official correspondence
– IoL Diploma in Translatio (Eng>Swe)
– Cambridge ESOL Certificate of Proficiency in English
I have a background as IT support technician and have an IoL Diploma in translation, English into Swedish (2000), as well as the Cambridge ESOL Certificate of Proficiency in English (2002). I mainly translate technical and medical texts from English into Swedish, and have extensive experience in translating manuals and other technical documentation (ref and example translations available at ProZ.com), transcreation/marketing text, surveys, official correspondence etc.
I translate and proofread all types of documents, including strings and HTML/XML/PDF. Example of translation projects include translation of car repair manuals for Renault, tech/user manuals for medical equipment, including surgery robots and other surgery equipment eg. for GE Healthcare & Intuitive Surgical, and EU agency website for an animal movement & tracking system (references for these are available on request). I also have experience in translating brochures, press releases, marketing material, official government agency correspondence and other more general texts.
I mainly use SDL Trados Studio 2011, WordFast Pro, MemoQ and TWS for translating, and am familiar with DTP software such as Adobe Photoshop, Indesign and Page Maker (diploma in DTP), so can handle most editing requirements.
