Hello,

My name is Trevor Arnold. I'm one of the principal
English/Haitian-Creole linguists used by many governments, government
departments, translation companies, international companies and private
individuals. I have been highly praised for providing the highest quality work
in this field for decades now. I have never - not even once - ever had even one
client that has been disappointed with the product I deliver, and I always
respect my deadlines. I have 34 years of
experience speaking, reading, writing and teaching in Haitian Creole. My
translating and interpreting experience took off in 1990 when I began informal
"on-the-fly" voiceover translation for meetings and conventions
between English and Haitian Creole.

I'm a native English speaker, and I learned
Haitian Creole at a very young age. I consider myself to be a native Haitian
Creole speaker. I've been living in Haiti permanently since 2004. I speak
Creole every day, all day long. I am adept in Haitian Creole language grammar,
sentence structure, nuances and many local proverbs. My entire time in Haiti, I
have been involved with teaching Creole to English-speaking people, as well as
teaching illiterate Haitians to read and write Haitian Creole. I have been an
instructor for a public speaking course on a weekly basis since 2004 (conducted
in Creole). The strength of my translation work is built on an excellent
understanding of both source and target languages involved, an appreciation for
the importance of correct grammar, spelling and syntax, and an editor with an
eye for detail. Unless I have signed an NDA with my client, I always have my
work proofread by a secondary translator prior to sending my results. I do not
use Mechanical Translation to do my work for me. I translate and proof each
word from every project I undertake. I do use a personal glossary/word bank to
ensure consistency. However, if you prefer your work done with the help of a
CAT tool, I am more than willing to accommodate you with your tool of
preference. I am proficient using Microsoft Office and Adobe. I'm precise,
efficient and focused on your needs. 

For translation, editing, proofreading projects, my rates vary based on
subject matter; for transcription projects, rates also may vary based on audio
quality. 

All of my rates are negotiable and may be adjusted to each individual
project. I want you to feel that you are receiving value for your investment.
You will notice that my rates aren't rock-bottom as some linguists offer. But,
I have seen thousands of documents that have been prepared by many so-called
low-ballers, and the quality definitely reflects the rates. 

Translation:

General subject matter: 8 cents US per word

Technical, medical, legal, mechanical, industrial and aviation: 10
cents US per word

Editing:

2 - 3 cents US per word

Rates may vary based on the scope and quantity of editing needed. 

Proofreading:

2 - 3 cents US per word based on subject matter. 

Transcription and SRT projects:

General subject matter, good audio quality: $5.50 US per audio minute

General subject matter, poor audio quality: $7.50 US per audio minute

Technical, legal, medical, mechanical, industrial and aviation subject
matter, good audio quality: $8.00 US per audio minute

Technical, legal, medical, mechanical, industrial and aviation subject
matter, poor audio quality: $10.00 US per audio minute

I work with a team of English and Haitian Creole linguists that has over 70 years of excellence in this field. My team includes native English and
Haitian-Creole speakers. We guarantee the quality of our work and we also
provide proofreading/copy-editing of our projects at no cost to you (every
project we undertake is also proofed by an independent expert linguist). Every
interview, exam and survey that we translate is rehearsed out loud to ensure
correct syntax, vernacular and proper language flow. We want to make sure you
receive the highest quality product. I also have a professional recording
studio for any audio projects you may need cared for. 

If you are serious about quality work, please get in touch with me.
Please see my profile for more details as to my qualifications. My ProZ and
Upwork profiles and job history can serve as my CV.
