About me

Translation of texts dealing with engineering, science, legal, commercial and business texts, patents

I am a freelance German/French translator cum interpreter active from 1975/1978 respectively in the above languages. Being a graduate electrical engineer having worked for 23 years in that capacity, I specialize in translating all types of technical literature as well as interpreting for the visiting technical experts speaking only German or French. Thus I have a cumulative experience of more than 86 years and I am 62 years young.

In addition to the above, I translate from Italian into English since 1990 onwards.

Tamil is my mother tongue and I studied in Tamil medium till I reached the University level. That being the case, I do translations in the pair Tamil<>English as well. This activity has increased very much in the recent months, as I am now fully enabled to type in Unicode Tamil fonts.

I do original writing in Tamil and English,

as well as my English blog at
