Chinese-English-Japanese Translator, Proofreader, Writer

Service procedure: 1. Client sends me invitation or accepts my proposal 2. Price and exact delivery time are determined 3. Delivery of translation 4. Post-delivery service (if needed) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Language services require rigorous training, not every amateur can do it well. I studied linguistics and life sciences in the US and worked at Sony as a technical translator. I bring the localization SOP (standard operating procedure) I learned at Sony to every project I take on. Having 15 years of experience in translation, I've worked as an employee or contractor for Fortune 500 companies and governments. The following are a few examples: - Translation and proofreading of technical documents at Sony - Translation and proofreading of technical documents for Microsoft - Translations related to financial derivatives for Bloomberg - Manufacturing-related translations and proofreading for Singapore Economic Development Board - Translation for Discovery Channel - Legal translation and proofreading for the Ministry of Justice of Japan - Translation and proofreading of customer-relations documents for Honda - Translation for Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited Services I provide: - Translation - Proofreading - Writing - SEO-oriented translation, writing, proofreading - etc. I love the art of translation. After working as a translator for 15 years, I’m still awed by the fact that symbols as disparate as “There are around 7000 languages on Earth”, “地球上约有七千种语言”, “地球上は七千ぐらいの言語がある” can mean exactly the same thing. I don't translate word-to-word. Instead, I will make sure the translation is natural and culturally appropriate for your target audience. Being a native Chinese speaker, I lived in the US for four years and have been to about 30 states. I’ve also done ethnolinguistic field work in England, Wales, Singapore, Malaysia, and the United Arab Emirates, where English is either an official language or a lingua franca. I also have basic knowledge of various Asian and European languages as listed in the Languages section. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Price: The exact quote would be sent after I preview your files.
