I am a well read and highly educated native Finn now residing in Scotland, UK.
Although not professionally qualified I am totally fluent in both English and Finnish.
Since I have been a resident in UK for almost 40 years and use English as my everyday language I prefer translations from Finnish into English.
I understand all Finnish dialects and can turn them into quality English language translations.

Between 1972 and 1990 I worked in many administration posts, mainly dealing with accounting, import/export market, reception work, customer services and sales. My experience is indeed wide and varied.

After 1990 I worked for Social Services Department for London Borough of Waltham as a child care professional, including management and administration work, until I became unable to work due to illness.

I started translating in April 2007. My specialities include government documents (such as Finnish curricula, certificates, Finnish government records), manuals for machinery, any Finnish language websites, letters and other general documents. I also translate legal documents.

I charge a minimum of $0.15, £0.07 or €0.10 per word and I prefer payment through bank transfer 30 days from the date of invoice. PayPal is also acceptable.

I charge a flat fee for any translation less than 300 words long. The fee is $45.00, €30.00 or £21.00.

My hourly rate is $25.00, £15.00 or €20.00 per hour minimum for proof reading etc.
I am able to work at a rate of approximately 1500 words per day.

I have TRADOS 2007 and Microsoft Word soft ware.

I prefer translating from Finnish into English, because I have lived in UK and used English as my everyday language for the past 40 years.

My recent translation projects include:
Arancho, Finnish to English, certificates, technical, ongoing collaboration
BigWord, government documents, certificates, letters, ongoing collaboration
Tilti Systems, Finnish to English translations, ongoing collaboration
Alphabet Translations, manuals and surveys, ongoing collaboration
