Bio

Certified PROs.jpg



As a native Czech with university degrees in Translation and Law and Business and specialist training for translators of legal texts, I have been working as a full-time freelance translator for 12 years and as a proofreader for 20 years. I believe in long-term collaboration and professional business partnerships. Contact me to discuss what I can do for you.

My clients return to me for:

Efficient communication: Prompt replies to your emails, proactive approach to clarify any doubts.
Flexibility: Tight deadlines, non-standard requirements, custom software. No problem, done it all. I am a quick learner and I always walk the extra mile.
Expert knowledge: I do what I am best at and I translate what I understand. I only specialize in few fields and constantly deepen my knowledge at educational events and conferences and by reading specialist literature. My current PhD studies involve research into legal English.
Excellent Czech: As one of the most successful participants in the history of the Czech-language competition, I am able to produce error-free and easy-to-read texts.
Eye for detail: I pay attention to every sign and space. I know typographic rules.
Technical skills: I am a technology enthusiast and a professional user of a various range of CAT and QA tools (Trados Studio, Memsource, MemoQ, Catalyst, Across, Idiom, ApSIC Xbench, etc.).
Responsibility: Your deadlines and requirements are of essence.
Passion: I love languages and I take pride in my work. I could not have chosen a better career. Besides English and Portuguese, which are the languages I translate from, I can use other languages as reference: Spanish, French, Greek, Polish, German, and Slovak. I have passive knowledge of Latin and Ancient Greek, which is useful not only in legal translations.
