Frequently Asked Questions
Of course! I will translate the first 350 words of a larger order free of charge so that you can get an idea of the quality of my work.
I am happy to process your orders with Trados (always with the latest version) or use a CAT system of your choice.
As a translator for many years, I am familiar with the rigors of the software available on the market and am happy to support you with problems and questions.
For large orders or ongoing translations, I use terminology databases and text memory files to ensure translation consistency.
As a professional, I know that sentences cannot be translated one-to-one from one language to another. Therefore, I refuse proofreading of translations created with automatic translation programs.
You can submit your orders in all common formats, even photographed manuscripts.
Of course, the delivery speed of translations and texts depends on the complexity of the content.
Your satisfaction is my top priority. If you are disappointed with a delivery, I will exchange ideas with you and improve until your wishes are implemented.
The best thing to do is send me your request by email and describe the task. Ideally, attach a file to be edited directly to the e-mail. If you want to discuss more complex issues, give me a call or send me your telephone number and I will call you back. We can also arrange a Zoom or Skype session.
