Bio
Most important info about me can be found in my CV, available to anyone who has a serious interest in my services. I was born in Sweden, where I also grew up and have been resident the major part of my life. However, I moved to Czech Republic in 2004 to live with my Czech partner, who also work as a freelance translator.

While I have made various translations in my main language pair, mostly on idealistic basis, since about 1990 may main career as a freelance translator didn't take off until after after I moved to Czech Republic. My partners agency, coming to know about my language origin, asked about my ability to translate an English document into Swedish, which I agreed to and accepted. The client was very happy with the result and I have since accepted and completed over 20 projects through this agency, both in the pairs Czech to Swedish and English to Swedish.

Since becoming a paying member on proz.com a few years ago, I have also established a relationship with another Czech translation agency which have provided several projects, among others as part of the team that translated the Tender documents for Škoda's bid for building tramway wagons for Gothenburg tramway system.

Since both the agencies mentioned above are located in Czech Republic, the amount of projects they can offer in my main language pair are limited, hence I am also open for other offerings.

I don't have an academic education to underwrite my value, but, when it comes to translation I dare to say I am very good in understanding English as well as expressing myself in Swedish and at the end of the day I believe that's what counts.

I prefer to work with projects that's given enough time to allow for a careful and error free translation. While I'm equipped with the type of curious mind that is able to wrap around basically any subject (if given enough time) my special fiends are computers, software and IT (I am also a programmer and build computers for myself and others), anything technical or electronic (I just have a mind for it), matters regarding environment and alternative ways of living/eating for a better and healthier life (that's how I delay my own aging).

I think I can offer a very competitive price with excellent quality, based on the type of project, quality of source documents, urgency of delivery etc. which are agreed on individually with each client after I have had the option to judge the documents. If I judge it necessary I always give a motivation to why I ask for specific price to take on a project. My aim is to deliver quality justifying the price.
