advertising and websites
- Creativity
is vital to produce attractive texts that incite any potential
customers to find out more about the product. That is why I strive
to create translations that not only transfer meaning, but also look
good and sound good.
- I have undertaken various types of
marketing translations such as monthly newsletters, brochures,
leaflets, magazines, promotional websites and mailers, banners,
advertising copy templates, and press release notes.

IT and technical
- To
create a good technical translation, you require a sound knowledge of
the topic and excellent writing skills. In all my translations,
linguistic quality is deemed as important as technical precision of the
translated text wherever it appears: a manual, a white paper or a
software application.
- I have successfully completed a
wide variety of technical translations relating to IT, photography,
computer networks, electronics and electrical appliances.

videogames
- Users
are becoming increasingly sensitive to the linguistic quality of the
text and audio within games. As a gamer and translator, I offer my
creativity, dedication and experience to try and create the best
quality games possible.

from multiple publishers for all sorts of systems, videoconsoles and
portable devices. And I have ample experience in the different genres:

bits and pieces
- Sooner
or later, every translator works on exciting projects that do not
particularly fall amongst their main specialities. But these sometimes
grow to become one. So I am always willing to explore new horizons!
