I'm an allround translator, but a skilled technician. So, most translations are about construction, mechanics, electrotechnics and IT. furthermore legal, economical and commercial.
Technical college: technical physics
Freelance technical translator since July 01 1998
I'm living in the Frisian village Stroobos: since the Stroobos people know a from b it's probably the best place to b for a translator in Germanic language pairs. Stroobos is at the Friesland/Groningen province border. Frisian is a long existing Germanic language which together with Saxon, Latin, Celtic, French, Saxonian and Nordic (Jutland, Danish) some thousand year ago made up the English language. On the other hand, the local dialect is not pure Frisian, but partly Gronings (= Saxonic = Low-German). Hence some native Stroobos people (I'm not, however) can to a reasonably degree understand all Germanic speakers in their mother tongue, without especially being taught thereto.

The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to.
The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability.
Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
