I've been translating since 1994, starting with miscellaneous documents during my academic years, then becoming a certified translator in the field of literature (2001).
I worked 4 years (1998-2002) as a translator/interpreter in a military unit. Throughout these years I did various translation work covering many fields: literature, technical, medical, psychology, patents, operator manuals etc. I work mainly for agencies in USA, Europe and Romania.
Most of my translation work is for agencies in US (mostly patents) and agencies in Canada (documents and user's manuals for wood processing company) and Europe (automotive, transcreation). In Romania I work on a regular basis for agencies/companies located in my residence town: architecture documents, user's manuals for pumps, printing presses, electrical instruments, safety data sheets etc.
All the rates charged for each job vary depending on the volume of work, subject matter, technical content, legibility of text, delivery format and timescale of work.
