Bio
Expertise:
I have long experience within biological science related to medicine. I have worked for nearly 30 years as a researcher and teacher at Copenhagen University in Denmark. Before that period, I did research at Harvard Medical School and at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. Thus I have always read scientific papers. I still keep scientific magazines and try to keep up to date within a broad scientific field. I have written more than 30 scientific papers in English for international journals. Therefore, am well qualified for translating scientific text.
Style:
I write my mother tongue Swedish with ease and sensitivity to nuance, having a vast vocabulary. I have always been fond of precise expression, and many years in science have honed my skills in logic and precision of expression.
Precision:
I work as a scientific and medical translator and as a technical translator. In the translation of manuals and work procedures, it is important that terms are used consistently. I do non-automated translation using CAT tools. These collect a customer's specific terminology as a separate database to ensure accuracy and consistency of translated terms and faster translation work. I translate texts from different computer applications.
Web pages:
I can handle the source code, and, if necessary, I can help improve the portability between different browsers and between the Windows and Macintosh platforms.
Translation jobs:
I have translated scientific papers and teaching materials as well as laboratory protocols to use as documentation in the context of patent litigation. I have translated long manuals within medical technology, and also a number of manuals for users of computer programs for secure operations within banking and insurance.
