Translator from English, German and Spanish into Italian, Anna M

Translator from English, German and Spanish into Italia...

Reggio nell'Emilia, Italy
Professional and reliable translator and proofreader from English, German and Spanish into Italian. After cooperating with an Italian translation agency... as in-house translator and proofreader for several years, I started working as a freelance translator for agencies based in Italy and abroad. I am extremely accurate and always keep a close eye to detail in order to obtain a fluent target text that can satisfy the most demanding of clients also under tight deadlines! This is way I believe that a good translator must have an excellent knowledge of their working languages as well as first, and foremost, of their native language. These are the steps I take when approaching a text to be translated: - careful and accurate reading of the original text. According to Hans Georg Gadamer, reading is like translating, because a correct overall comprehension of the source text is the key foundation of a good translation; - then I start writing the actual translation, making use of effective search tools, i.e. mono- and bilingual dictionaries, specific glossaries and the internet to keep the pace with the ever evolving nature of languages; - finally I check and revise the translated text.

Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom
Hi, Hope all is well. I offer help in the following: 1. Proofreading. Currently a beta-reader for a couple of... fanfiction websites also, my tasks involve: proofing written chapters by authors, checking for any spelling or grammatical errors and making such corrections and annotations. Dependent on authors' writing styles and story characters' idiosyncrasies; I also offer advice as how improvements can be made to ensure the flow of the story and its pot lines, the characters, and other ways to help make the stories better. 2. Transcribing. As a Linguistics student, I am often required to record and subsequently transcribe spoken and written discourse. Thence; I, more often than not, distinguish any unclear written or spoken language. 3. Translating. I'm a native English speaker who is also fluent in Urdu -- both spoken and written. French and Arabic are also languages that I can speak and write, and will thus be able to my services in those two languages as well (more specifically French). 4. Ghostwriting. My preference is to write for fiction; but I shall not mind non-fiction, auto-/biographical accounts either.

Abdelkader SELLAL, March 17 , 2011 scientist, geodesist and translator, 106, rue Parnet, Hussein-Dey, Alger, Algeria. Tel : 213 021 77 08 07 E mail: abdsellal@yahoo.com and iagsellal@yahoo.com To resumesromania@sdl.com Evaluator of Machine Translated texts - IT Software background needed Application for translation, writing and editing tasks with your agency in the three languages, English, French and German. I am a scientist from Algeria, born in 1946, having gained thorough knowledge and experience in three fields, Mathematics, Computer Science and Geodesy from three universities, Algiers, Paris and Graz, strengthened and shaped in the run of a 30 years professional career as a geodesist at the National ...Institute of Cartography and Remote Sensing here in Algiers. I have gone over since few years into translation services, proofreading... and copywriting using the Web. Thus as an Algerian from a certain generation my first language is the French one. Then English comes which I practise very fluently, with the same easiness, correctness and fluidity, thanks to a good education, gained first already as young in the college and at the university and then during all my professional life, as a geodesist referring mainly to documentation written in English. As to my knowledge of the German language, it is still with the same correctness however a little slow as compared to the two other languages. For these reasons I feel able to work both as a French native and as an English native in your translation works. I propose however to perform translations into the three languages, that is including also German although I am not a native and I am enclosing a translation sample. I warranty simple, right and accurate style in the three languages English, French and German together with a certain talent for reporting even within technical texts. I have however better skills in writing and editing because there, I am freer for developing my own style. I am especially interested with translating long texts such as reports, doctoral theses, full books or rather long publications in the fields of all sciences especially the exact or the natural ones, that is mathematics, physics, Earth and geographical sciences, engineering , computer science, software documentation, graphical interfaces, comments within programs code source (I have some experience translating within the GNU program for free software source in the Web), Web sites, texts in literature, history or media, newspapers, cinema, politics, finances, economics and many others but medical and chemical because I do not like these although I have some knowledge in chemistry; which fit the various topics described in the pages of your website that I have thoroughly and carefully read, related to technical and financial documentation and the activities inferred from the impressive list of your clients. I can and I know how to use a CAT utility but I prefer manual (brain?) translation because I have a somewhat artistic view of the task of translating. Where and if needed, I shall use a CAT but anyway I can go as quickly in translating using a CAT or working manually (that is using my brain only). I have however encountered situations where CAT, in my case Systran and Trados were mandatory, with urgent tasks and huge volume of scientific and technical texts. I have already translated 60 000 words within three days using Systran, with as a result a very correct translated text which did not need thorough proofing and correcting, which is fully impossible manually. Nevertheless, I do not imagine using CAT with literary texts. Nevertheless, CAT seems to be the future of translation as translating without CAT resembles to text processing without Microsoft Word or equivalent. The foregoing implies also that I can deal besides translations with the tasks of correcting, revising and proofreading texts written in the three languages, French, English and German. I invite you to read at least some of the texts that I am enclosing with this mail. All three languages are represented. You will know about me and you will be able to assess my skills writing in these three languages. With my best regards, Abdelkader SELLAL Complements to the foregoing text, I would like to begin this complement with my rate per source word. This is mentioned in my C.V., enclosed with my details and reads EUR 0.10 which is a standard figure when one compares with figures shown within applications or advertisements for example in the Translation-newsletter. However, this figure is not at all a closed one and is variable according to several factors. In a general rule, if the text to be translated is rather long, (500 pages or more, I do not charge the last one or two hundred pages, because after having translated 300 pages or 400 pages, one acquires automatisms and a cruising speed which make that the end of the work is both very fast and very easy. Anyway, my philosophy is that the best would be that we should always commonly agree beforehand on a fee and a deadline prior to undertake a work. Also, rating is not at all a fixed point for me. I like languages and my first worry is the nature and the quality of the job to be done. A second point which is important for me concerns the target languages of the translations. A requirement usually present in most advertisements is that the translator would translate into his mother tongue. This is too much constraining for me. I am a native in the French language. I can do exactly what I want with the English language and I have enclosed in my documents a recent translation of part of an auction site from English into German. That is I can cover the three languages, French, English and German as target languages. I have made available in my attached documents three testimony-samples which are my two translations of a Slovakian auction site from English into French and German and a third one which is a recent translation of a technical document from French into English. Some explanations about these translations: I have translated the Slovakian site into French within three weeks and into German within one month, relax and very partial time as I had loose deadlines from the client. For the document from French into English, that was an urgent task, I have done it within two days but not “at cold”, that was included among several other documents and for performing the translation within two days, I profited from the acquired impetus while I translated the first documents. Technical and scientific, I can handle around 250 000 words per month, very relax but I am not going to charge EUR 0.10 per source word. There will be a considerable discount and the charge would be for a mean of 150 000 words. Now, although my whole professional roadway has been devoted to Mathematics, Computer Science and Geographical Sciences which prevented me from reserving an adequate time to many other topics of a great interest for me such as the languages, literature, history, I try to catch up from wasted time and this is the reason for which I moved to translations tasks since few years. For these reasons, conventional, literary and academic language held an important part in my interest to the topic of languages. I have for instance undertaken the translation into French of two books written in German, the first is from Richard Friedenthal, “Goethe, sein Leben und seine Zeit”, the second is a handbook of poetry from Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, “Texte deutscher Lieder”, the English version of Leo Tolstoy’s “War and Peace” that I am rendering into German and a French version of “Rebecca” that I am translating into English just to compare my English to that of Mrs. Daphné Du Maurier! As another example of the types of language that I favor, I can mention the wide range of papers to be found in titles such as The Economist, Le Nouvel Observateur and Die Zeit. Here, what I would suggest is that your agency could enter in contact with publishing houses that search for translators and also writers as I am better in writing because there I am freer than in translating to develop my own style. If, in addition, the texts to be written are technical or scientific, then this will perfectly fit my whole education, training, background and experience. I shall add other details about me if as I hope it, what I am writing results in nice and positive echoes from your side. With my best regards, Abd-el-Kader SELLAL Evaluator of Machine Translated texts - IT Software background needed Offre # 91938 publiée le mercredi 16 mars 2011 à 13:30 GMT Type d'offre : Immédiate Télétravail Relecture Langues : anglais>français anglais>allemand anglais>italien anglais>espagnol (seuls les professionnels traduisant vers leur langue maternelle devraient postuler à l'offre) Spécialisation : Communications de données, Génie logiciel, Gestion de données, Ingénierie informatique, Internet, Sciences informatique et de l’information, Systèmes et Science de l’information Description of the task: Evaluation of the quality of texts from the IT domain translated by a Machine Translation software.
