I am a graduate (Civilekonom = B.Sc.(Econ)/MBA) of the Stockholm School of Economics and a former reserve officer.
I have the Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency, First Grade and KDS - Kleines Deutsches Sprachdiplom (so has wife Sylvia, see below).
I have run my own business for 27 years, 13 of them in Germany, having marketed Swedish products in 5 languages in Sweden, Germany and Europe for 30 years.
Returning to Sweden in 1996 I started translating professionally (deu/eng/fra/esl>swe).
Sylvia (17 years in Germany, where we met) gradually joined me on a part-time basis. Today she carries the major load and brilliantly too.
We work with MS Office 2003, Trados Freelance 7.0, MS FrontPage 2000

Our summer office close to our previous office.
We had our office in the village of Träsk in the High Coast World Heritage area, 500 km north of Stockholm, where the air is clear, the lake water is drinkable (see http://www.MatsWiman.se), the moose delivers the snail mail and bear and lynx make courteous visits.
NEW OFFICE: We have moved to Lessebo in southern Småland in South Sweden.
