About me

I am a native speaker of UK English with a British university degree in French and German and Australian national accreditation in French (click below to download CV/résumé and a translation sample). I translate from both languages into UK, US or Australian English. My main career experience has been in Education and Training, as I spent 23 years teaching secondary school French and German. I now also translate in the following main areas: Environment, Business and Technical Translation, with Solar Power, Software, Data Management and Electronics as specialities. I currently translate around 300,000 words per year and have a bank account in Germany.

My translation rates are 0.08 euro per source word for German and French. My line price for German is 0.60 euro. I accept bank draft, cheque and PayPal payments. My daily output is around 3,000 words. The time-difference for Perth, Western Australia is GMT +9 or CET + 8.
