Associate of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting

I have been working in the translation field for the last seven years and I have been a full-time Turkish Translator since 2007. I have achieved a "merit" pass mark in the "technology" option of the Diploma in Translation Exam (by the Institute of Linguists), in January 2010 . I obtained a dual diploma in classical archaeology and teaching from the University of Istanbul in 2001 and I taught Turkish in the UK professionally in 2005 and 2008. In 2005, I wrote my own Turkish learning book for foreign learners, in English. I took DPSI (Diploma in Public Interpretation) exam in 2005 and in the same year I obtained a TEFL (Teaching English as a Second Language) certificate from ICAL. Although I had training and experience in teaching, I no longer offer this service and I am a full-time professional TRANSLATOR and INTERPRETER only. I have two latest technology desktop computers connected to fibre optic broadband and equipped with Windows Office and Trados. I have an extensive library of linguistic publications and publications related to my own language combination. For the last seven years as well as translating documents of different types and subjects, I have edited some documents and magazines also transcribed extensive volume of various recordings. Quality, speed and price are my most important attributes. I never agree with taking on a project I cannot deliver. In my entire professional translation career, I have not even once failed a deadline. I am committed to professional development and I constantly strive to develop myself in different aspects of translation profession including learning about new technologies and developing my vocabulary and reading different publications about translation. I work with the following translation CAT tools: Trados Freelance (Translator's Workbench 2008), SDL Trados 2009, Memoq 5.

Examples of some recent work carried out:

-Translation of various documents for UK government agencies, health organisations, local governments, law firms, corporations.

-Sub-editing of Holiday Travel Magazine

-Translation of cinema, dance and art related articles

-Translation of websites, product manuals and documents in the IT field

-Numerous works carried out for K-International; including transcriptions and voice overs

-Works carried out for Six800 Language Services
