I translate from German and Spanish into English with a focus on software localization and mathematics. My work includes adapting educational applications for the American market, where I have rendered complex content ranging. This technical background allows me to handle precise terminology in both computer science and academic subjects. Beyond software, I apply my linguistic skills to administrative and legal contexts, having managed visa documentation and candidate communications for international exchange programs. My approach combines native English fluency with deep cultural competence in German studies to ensure clarity and accuracy across diverse technical and procedural texts.
I have been working as a translator and interpreter for over 16 years. I studied Translating and Interpreting (Romanian, German, English) at the University of Bucharest and the University of Vienna and was certified by the Romanian Ministry of Justice.
Being Slovene and having studied Slavic Studies and American Studies in Berlin, Germany (B.A., at Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin), I am fluent in written and spoken English, German, Slovene, and Bosnian/ Croatian/ Serbian (former "Serbocroatian"). In addition, I am able to translate and interpret from and into the above listed languages (with Slovene and English as best target languages), can proofread texts written in Slovene, teach English (as a foreign language), and am familiar with the histories and cultures of the USA, Germany, Middle Europe, and of the Balkans (I also lived in all of these areas for extended periods of time).
I worked on a voluntary basis as a translator for immigrants from Hungaria and Romania. I did this for less than a year, than I moved with my husband to the US.
I have 36 years of experience in translation.
I have Ph.D. in Hebrew and Semitic Studies. My professional experience includes, among others, more than 25 years as a professor at college levels (Israel, Germany, United States), Director of the Haifa Bureau of the Academy of the Hebrew Language, and Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa (terminology, dictionaries, coining new Hebrew words), and translation of works (classical and modern literary works, business and personal documents, and others).
I do speak fluent German,Russian,Uzbek and English is basic. I do have a strong educational background and work experience related to my education. If you need an experienced translator, I am the right person for you, I am a fast learner and will bring positive results for the company I will work for.
During the past twenty years as a translator, interpreter, proofreader and voice over specialist,I have worked on many different projects. Therefore I have experience in a variety of fields. I am available on short notice.
Strong academic background, PhD. Translated literature texts from Indonesian into German (Indonesian short stories, published), copy wrote and translated the content of our project website from German into Indonesian, translated daily briefings from German into English while working as a marketing researcher, co-edited a volume on Indonesia's democratization in English (which included writing an academic article in English as well as proofreading and translating other author's papers), wrote my PhD thesis in English, etc.
My qualifications include the Diploma in Translation (DipTrans) for German into English from the Chartered Institute of Linguists. I also have an MA in Linguistics from Louisiana State University. My education and experience have given me a deep sensitivity to words and language, and my command of both English and my source languages is supported by strong metalinguistic and analytical skills. As a translator, I am also sensitive to nuance, style, and connotation, and can ensure a translation that sounds as appropriate in the target language as it does in the source language.
I have been working as a Czech translator and editor for over ten years. I have worked on projects ranging from literary works to academic articles to divorce decisions. I pride myself on producing accurate translations that read as if they were originally written in English. I specialize in the arts and humanities, travel/tourism, law, and official documents.
