I am an established freelance Italian-English translator and a qualified Member of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting (MITI). Before becoming a full-time translator, I taught languages in Italy and in England. If you would like more details about my career and qualifications, please ask for my full CV.
I specialise in the following fields of translation:
... the translation was impeccable, and I can say it was REALLY a 'translation', which is conducting the original writing in another language, taking care to make the best possible way in the fullest sense of the document, and not just to find the match 1 to 1 of single words.
...a wonderful demonstration of professionalism that goes far beyond the simple fulfilment of the task...
Depending on the complexity of the original text, a document of 2000 words usually takes approximately 1 full working day. This includes time for any improvements to the final version and for two or three checks to be made for any errors.
I usually quote per word in the source language (Italian). Prices depend on the subject matter of the text and minimum charges apply.
If possible, remove any unnecessary text and provide a Word document whenever possible.
Provide any background documentation or information, as well as in-house glossaries where possible.
You can send your document by e-mail or post. It will be returned by e-mail. Hard copies returned by post will be charged postal fees.
As a qualified member of ITI I am bound to confidentiality.
Most professional translators translate only into their mother tongue and to translate into the foreign language would be against the Code of Conduct of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting.
