Dan Marasescu (Belgium), Council of the European Union
Bio: My career in translation started in a theoretical context, at the University of Cluj, where I taught language and practical courses in the Translation Department for a few years. At the same time I was working as a freelance translator and, when my workload became difficult to manage, I decided to give up teaching. As a freelancer, my fields of predilection were IT, automotive and marketing.

Last year I became an in-house translator and revisor for the Council of the European Union in Brussels, where one of my tasks is the revision and evaluation of external translations.

Bio: After a lifetime in other careers (journalism, IT), I became a translator 5 years ago, also doing a postgraduate translation course on the side. I now translate from Swedish or German to English.

Because of my background in IT, I have a particular interest in electronic tools for translation, particularly speech recognition. I will be talking about five different types of tool, their pros and cons, in order to give you some ideas for what you might find useful.

Sessions:


Ralf Lemster (Germany), RLFT GmbH
Bio: Multi-disciplined experience turned into profession
Ten years of investment banking experience with Dresdner Bank AG - with a focus on trading and sales of a variety of interest rate, FX and equity products - have formed the solid foundations for my experience in the financial markets.

Four years based in London gave rise to the opportunity to pursue an interesting and very exciting second career. In 1994 I began to do specialist translations related to the financial markets. Clients became more and more interested. I chose translation as my future profession.

I have been fully independent as a translator since 1997, having passed the state examination for English in the same year. I am a sworn translator (ermächtigter Übersetzer) and thus able to certify the correctness and completeness of translations. The permanent contact to the markets is assured thanks to my parallel activities as a functional trainer for electronic exchange platforms.

I serve as a ProZ.com moderator, covering Jobs and the BlueBoard, as well as various forums (Money Matters, SDL Trados Support, German forum).
