I obtained a joint BA degree in German and French (2:i) from Reading University in 1983 and an MA in Translation Studies from Surrey University in 1987. Although I spent one year working for a translation agency in Winchester after I obtained my MA, it was not until 1994 that I started to work as a freelance translator. I translate French, German, Dutch and Russian texts into English. My subject areas are diverse, although I will not translate electronics or engineering texts. My BA had a definite literary bias, and I enjoy the creativity of translating literary texts. As an almost fully qualified accountant, I also feel particularly comfortable with commercial texts. In addition, my 3 'A' Levels in Chemistry, Human Biology and Mathematics give me a scientific background, and my preferred texts are of a pharmaceutical nature. My daily output is 2,500 words.
I have now been working as a freelance translator for about 13 years. I translate about 2,500 words a day and have been fully employed for many years. I have experience of translating a wide range of documents which have ranged in length from a few words to about 80,000 words. The documents have been in all 4 languages. I have worked for customers both in this country and abroad. My charges are: £50 per 1,000 words of French, German and Dutch and £55 per 1,000 words of Russian. | Keywords: pharmaceutical, literary
