Hello,

My name is Tomas Mosler and I would like to offer you my top-quality and reliable services in the field of English to Czech localizations and IT, marketing, market research and business translations. In the field of software localization, I also translate from German into Czech and from Czech into English. If you wish to discuss your project, don't hesitate to contact me.

I'm a native Czech speaker. I've been working as a freelance English-Czech translator since 2005. I have a university degree (Master of Arts) and a state exam from the English language (CEFR B2 level). I'm an Associate of the American Translators Association (USA) and an Associate of the Institute of Translation & Interpreting (UK).

My university education in humanities guarantees an excellent work with regard to the language and research, while my employee/contractor experience (which includes localization quality assurance engineering for Apple Inc.) and freelance experience with various subject matters provides a solid know-how background. Letters of recommendation from my customers are available on my website or upon request.

Specialization
Localization in general – websites, software, computer games, videogames
Information technology (IT) – Internet, hardware, software user guides, telecommunications (mobile phones)
Marketing and business – promotional texts, market research, contracts, finance, insurance, securities, human resources, management, marketing and business in general

I also work in the field of translation of texts related to nature, culture, religion, sport, and automotive industry.

Within the IT field, I made various translations from a migration project to HW/SW user guides. I also have extensive experience with localizations (software and websites), marketing (including backtranslations and alternative versions), market research and business topics. In addition, I have worked as a localization QA engineer for Apple Inc. (a contract for six months; 2011) and as a webmaster / ERP consultant in an international company for six years.

Rates and volumes
Rates vary upon specific conditions of each translation (subject matter, volume, urgency, output format etc.). I always wish to reach mutual agreement with the customer. If required, I can also mediate a revision of the final translation by a Czech language expert.

On average, I'm able to translate approx. 2,200 words in a top-notch quality per a day. In a short time "burst" situation up to 3,500 words. The volume also depends on subject matter. Smaller tasks are fine with me (minimum rate per a job is EUR 20).

Reachability
I'm available on phone and e-mail throughout every day 9 am – 6 pm CET (8 am – 5 pm GMT, 4 am – 1 pm EST, 5 pm – 2 am JST), or as agreed in advance. I can react promptly (usually within just a few minutes) to any e-mail. I'm permanently on-line most of the aforementioned period, and e-mail notifications are forwarded to my mobile phone for the remaining time. High-speed connection is a matter of course. Secondary PC available.

Software
General: Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Office 2007 Professional, Adobe Acrobat, Paint Shop Pro and other applications.
CAT Tools: Trados Studio 2011, Trados Suite 2007 (Tag Editor, Workbench, SDLX), MemoQ 5, Passolo 2009 & 2011, IBM Translation Manager 6.2.1, Across 5.1, OmegaT.
As an IT expert, I'm ready to adapt quickly to any specific CAT or other tool if required for the collaboration.

Once again, let me assure you I always provide quality translations and revisions. In addition to references from my customers available on my website, you may wish to see the feedback I received from other clients at http://www.proz.com/wwa/817450. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions if you are interested in collaboration. I will gladly discuss your project, provide letteers of recommendation or make a sample translation.
