About me

Just ask if you need to know more.

Background


Born in 1978. Native speaker of Slovenian language. Daughter of a hospital lawyer and an engineer. Learned to read when I was 4. Started learning English by the age of 5. Won almost every English language competition I entered.

English language competition? It's this thing we have here in Slovenia where our English teachers pit their pupils against each other.

Delivered my first paid translation when I was 14. Now I can easily translate 3,000 words per day and revise about three times as many.

I have a Certificate of Proficiency in English (University of Cambridge, grade A); this is a level C2 (Mastery) degree according to CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages).

I'm friendly, patient, resourceful and reliable. A fast learner. I own a ton of dictionaries. I've been reading Slovenian and English books ever since I was a child. As a result I have an extensive vocabulary and a keen sense of language that many other translators sometimes seem to lack.


Services


Quality management: All my translations are revised by other linguists. I work with several other excellent translators and editors and I can have my translations double-checked really fast. Have I mentioned I also provide editing and proofreading services?

Please note I'm an advanced user of several CAT tools - I know how to work with translation memories, terminology databases, bilingual documents, pretranslated files, satellites and similar.

Working with me is simple. You order a translation, I deliver it and then I send you an invoice for my services.

I deliver accurate translations, not guesswork. If I notice anything the client should be made aware of during the translation process (like inconsistencies and severe errors in the source text), I'll alert the project manager and suggest corrective measures if desired.

I occasionally do pro bono work. I always offer very affordable rates to charities.


My languages


My working pairs are:
English>Slovenian
Slovenian>English


I can also read and understand German, Italian, Croatian, Serbian, Macedonian, French and some Spanish.

Funny fact no. 1: I’ve been contributing to English language Wikipedia since 2005. Other users have yet to figure out I’m not a native speaker of English.

Funny fact no. 2: I own several guinea pigs and I’ve probably read most of what has ever been written about these furry little animals. Naturally, by own I mean I cater to their every whim. So don't look any further if you ever happen to need a translation that has to do with cavies.

Funny fact no. 3: One of my favourite responsibilities is translating for Coffee News, Slovenian edition. CN makes great coffee-break reading ;)
