Bio
I am an experienced translator working from Chinese to English and based in the UK. I have lived and worked in both Mainland China and Taiwan, giving me a deep knowledge of Chinese culture in addition to thorough knowledge of the language- both requirements of a good translator. I offer highly professional translation into fluent, natural English (UK and US), and every translation is backed up by the Chartered Institute of Linguists Code of Conduct, guaranteeing quality translations every time.



I specialize in the fields of Business, Law, IT, and Literature, and have rich experience in translating materials in all these areas for satisfied end clients. Past projects include complex software manuals, real estate contracts, service handbooks, financial reports, investment prospectuses, and technical specifications. I have also worked in the preparation of a new Chinese to English dictionary, giving me an in-depth and detailed understanding of vocabulary from a wide range of specializations.



This translation experience is underpinned by a solid academic background. I hold a Master's degree with Distinction in Theory and Practice of Translation (Chinese-English) from the School of Oriental and African Studies, London, and a Merit in the postgraduate Diploma in Translation from the Chartered Institute of Lingusts.



I am skilled in the use of CAT tools to increase productivity and quality, and own software such as Trados Studio 2011, Multiterm, and Passolo. I am also proficient in the use of MemoQ and Translation Workspace. In addition to these CAT tools, I have Acrobat X, Office, and Photoshop at my disposal.



I offer reasonable rates, and can give discounts for repeated CAT segments and large volumes, and can accept payment via PayPal in most major currencies with prior agreement.
