SPECIALIST AREAS

AUTOMOTIVE

I have been regularly translating in many different areas of the Automotive sector since 1999. The range of projects handled have been many and varied, ranging from 100 words to 250,000 words. My initial experience of this subject area and also my introduction to world of translation was when I worked as a project manager and team leader for a a translation agency in South Germany managing the translation and publication of a large-volume quality management project for a major automotive manufacturer based in South Germany which also included hands-on translation work.

Since then I have worked as a freelance translator on a wide range of projects. I was admitted to the ITI as fully qualified member in 2006 via the exam route with specialist topic automotive engineering.


ARCHITECTURE AND CONSTRUCTION

Designing and working out the details of a building is not a job for the faint hearted. There are many factors to consider and it requires tenacity, an eye for detail and a considerable amount of discipline too. The same goes for translating in this area.
I have been working in the translation industry since 1997. I'm also a qualified architect with professional experience working at architectural firms in both the UK and Germany. The invitation to go to Germany and work for a world renowned architectural practice based in Stuttgart  on prestigious projects back in 1993 was daunting yet an opportunity I couldn't miss. This was my introduction to German culture and the German language. Since becoming a translator I have translated many texts related to architecture and construction.

HEATING SYSTEMS AND BUILDING SERVICES/TECHNOLOGY

Buildings contain many systems which provide an appropriate environment for the users and allow them to carry out activities safely and comfortably. I have translated many user guides, technical specifications and operating instructions for well known German manufacturers.
