Lebenslauf

Who am I?

  • I'm a professional freelance translator with vast experience in handling technical translations from English into Czech and I've been providing my quality services to my clients since 2002.
  • My technical education and in-depth knowledge of technical terminology, combined with several years of expertise and active cooperation with many engineering technicians, as well as direct clients have taught me that quality, deep understanding of front-end technologies, accuracy, reliability and meeting deadlines are the most imortant factors for manufacturers, agencies and the ultimate market.

What do I offer?

  • Technical translations
    I translate technical documentation from English into Czech with a strong focus on accuracy, consistency and practical usability. Whether working on individual documents or extensive manuals, my goal is to deliver clear, reliable texts that function correctly in real-world technical contexts.

  • Proofreading, editing & AI output validation
    I offer proofreading and/or editing of already translated technical documents, including AI-generated or machine-translated content. These services involve careful review of grammar, style, field-specific terminology and overall quality of writing — but above all the preservation of meaning and technical accuracy.

  • Localization of software, applications or websites
    In addition to translation, I verify the correct integration of the localized content within the final product. This includes checking that the target text appears in the appropriate context, functions correctly within the interface, and preserves the intended meaning.
