Became a ProZ Platinum member in March 2004.

I founded LocumSmart Ltd in 2000.

Why use me?

I am only satisfied when:

• The translated document reads as if it had been written originally in English

• Its meaning is indistinguishable for any practical purpose from the non-English source

• Where any of the content is of a technical nature, or relates to a specialised field, I am confident that I know the appropriate translation of all technical or specialised terms, based on my own knowledge and experience, or failing that based on careful research

On the first point above, there is a balance to be struck. Where a document is of a legal or contractual nature it is usually more appropriate to err on the side of complete faithfulness to the meaning of the original, bearing in mind the likely use to which the translated document will be put.

My strength is first hand involvement in the world of business as a result of which I am conversant with the language and terminology of contracts, insurance, legal documents, economics, accounting, IT; my education has made me familiar with the world of Mathematics, Statistics and wider fields in science.
