Bio

Danish is my native language, and I am a VAT registered translator specialising in:


– English and Danish medical, technical, legal, and economic texts
– Norwegian medical, legal, and economic texts
– Russian legal, economic and cultural texts

My main language pairs:
– English > Danish
– Danish > English

Other language pairs I offer:
– Norwegian > English
– Norwegian > Danish
– Russian > English, Russian > Danish (preferably, small to mid-sized projects at a time)

I have been a freelance translator since 2005.

The purpose of this service is to provide translations that convey the meaning correctly down to comma level, ensuring that the language flow in the translated text is flawless and powerful, using a style that reads fully natural to the relevant target audience.

I have many years of experience with various Word features, e.g. creation of tables of contents, creation of tables with various structures along with work in Track Changes mode using important Word options.
