Presentation:

I'm Lindsay, a freelance translator, proofreader and editor. What I offer: - Translation and transcreation (freer, more creative - ideal for marketing) from German, Swedish or French into English - Machine translation post-editing (bringing automatically translated texts up to human standards) - Proofreading and revision (of translated and standalone English texts - in as much depth as you want) - Adaptation into UK/US English - Subtitling, subtitle editing and transcription into English Imagine you've got a fact-filled sustainability report, or maybe a medical brochure, that you want to present to a new, non-expert audience in a way that captures their attention and interest. Do you turn to an expert in the field for help, or someone with a creative way with words and an intuitive feel for what audiences want to hear? Good news! With me, you get both. I love tackling translation and editing projects that cross traditional subject-area boundaries and call for a more holistic approach and diverse skillset. In my career, I have built up experience in a broad range of subjects and text types, so I can offer versatility to a consistently high standard. Especially if your interests align with my main areas of expertise: - General business/commercial communications - Financial, corporate governance and sustainability reports - Public/patient-facing medical/healthcare publications - International development cooperation - Arts, culture, history, museums - Interior design and architecture - Marketing - Tourism and sport What can you expect from me? - Help with bridging the gap between what you write as text creators and the needs of your target audiences, across linguistic and cultural divides - Informative and engaging standalone texts, carefully crafted on the basis of sound knowledge of the source context and awareness of the target audience and setting - Subject-specific expertise, attention to detail and intuitive stylistic skills - High-quality results tailored to your requirements I'm also a Chartered Linguist (so I can provide certified translations) and belong to various professional translation/linguist bodies in the UK and the Nordic region. All of this means that I'm fully qualified and always keen to build on my skills even further - so I can provide the services you need. Sound interesting? Let's talk!
