Translation Volume: 250 pages Completed: Jul 2012 Languages: English to Finnish
Translation of a non-fiction book
Translation of a book on sexual history, including information on a lot of different subjects, such as medicine, theology, art and pop culture. Also snippets of scientific papers, magazine/newspaper articles, poetry (including song lyrics) and prose.
The book was originally written in Dutch (which I know pretty well, even though I wouldn't translate exclusively from it), so I used both the original and the English translation as my source

Experience
Years of experience: 16. Registered at ProZ.com: Nov 2009.
I am a native speaker of Finnish, though I currently reside in the Netherlands. I am a professional writer (since 2000) and a published author. My primary interest and experience is in medicine, but I also used to write for a computer magazine for six years. I also wrote for an interior decoration magazine for several years. Currently I contribute to music, vegan and health/fitness magazines in Finland. Finnish academic publisher Finn Lectura has published two medical textbooks and a Twitter guidebook from me. My debut novel was published in Finland in October 2011.
I started doing translation work in 2008. I have translated e.g. software and games, press releases, websites, subtitles (for instructional videos, a documentary film and an indie movie), T-shirt texts, Google ads, other ad copy (including product labels, pharmaceutical ads and brochures for medical devices), manuals, medical reports and a language textbook. I have also done some transcription.
I have been creating web content since 1996 and also know SEO. I have done SEO-related work in both Finnish and English.
