About me

Originally an agricultural engineer, I decided to make a career switch and started studying Italian and English translation. At the end of 1996, I founded Zwanenberg Translations and started working with the following language pairs:

* English - Dutch
* German - Dutch
* Italian - Dutch

I specialise in technical texts, such as machine manuals, sales brochures, web pages, and software, and have significant experience in the field of automotive, games, consumer electronics, packaging and model railroad industry.

In 2003 I was accepted as a member of the Netherlands Society of Interpreters and Translators (NGTV), and several times a year I meet with my colleagues to discuss the ins and outs of our work.

In 2008 my husband Robert joined me at Zwanenberg Translations. We work with SDLTradosStudio2007 and the new SDLTradosStudio2009.

After work, I enjoy hiking with my family, nordic walking, reading a good book, and singing in my choir. I also spend a lot of hours behind my computer and studying whatever catches my interest.
