In my eight years as a translator and language specialist at SDL/RWS I mainly handled texts from the tech and IT sectors: From maintenance manuals for industrial machinery to software marketing, I learned to tailor my translations to a wide range of audiences. This work also introduced me to many different translation and management tools and taught me not only to master my most used tools (Trados Studio and XTM), but also to adjust to new systems quickly. I am now bringing this experience to my freelance work, as well as branching out into more creative translation, chiefly in the video game sector.
