About me

Welcome to my ProZ.com Profile



I am a Turkish native translator with over 9 years experience in a variety of specialty fields. I graduated from the Department of English Language and Literature at Istanbul University, a four-year program providing higher education on the English Language and Literature as well as Translation. I also completed a (non-thesis) master's program in English Teaching and hold an official English Teaching Certificate.

In the course of my professional career, I have never quit working as a freelancer although I had two in-house translating adventures and one as a full-time teacher at a private school. I am currently working as a freelance translator on an *extreme* full-time basis, which requires me to take translation as a way of living rather than mere profession. Everything in my life is arranged according to my work flow and a holiday is not as holy for me as it could be for someone else.

Specific and remarkable work experience I have had so far include

- localization of the social networking website "FriendFeed" into Turkish;

- a fantastic novel translation (published in 2004);

- translation and editing of newspaper clipping reports and summary articles for key players from the banking, telco and power generation industries;

- translation of sophisticated mining equipment manuals and power point presentations;

- translation of hundreds of agreements and contracts from dozens of lines of business;

- translation of JAR OPS/CAP documentation and wet/dry lease (agreements) for the Aviation Industry;

- software and hardware translations for IT and GSM products of leading global companies;

- glossary and dictionary building and revising work for several publishing companies, etc.

My daily output varies between 3000 - 4000 words depending on the complexity of your needs. Test translation requests within reasonable volume limits are accepted. Confidentiality is one of my core business principles and I am happy to sign NDAs whenever required.

As regards technical facilities, I have two desktop PCs, one laptop, an hp officejet all-in-one, ADSL broad-band Internet connection. I can handle, and execute deliveries in, almost all of the common file formats and am capable of using SDL Trados Translator's Workbench and TagEditor as Computer Assisted Translation tools.



Please ask for functional CVs and references and do not hesitate to contact me if consultancy is what you need. I will be glad to provide guidance even if I cannot help you directly.
