Business Terms:
Simply e-mail me with the material you need me to translate. The price will vary according to the type of text and field, language pair and, of course, the amount of time I am given, in order to do my task.


My working hours are usually from 10 AM to 6.30 PM (GMT), but I am flexible and I do meet deadlines, even if that means working my fingers to the bone.

I never work on many projects at the same time, because I believe a translator should be focused, in order to be successful.

I have basic knowledge of TRADOS and Wordfast, but I only use this software if the customer specifically asks me to.

Absolute secrecy is assured, when dealing with the customers' documents.

E-mail address:
- bentranslations@gmail.com

Payment:
Bank transfer only. EURO would be highly preferable but, depending on the customer's wishes, an agreement can be reached.
