Specialist subject areas
I specialise in translating business and marketing materials, a field I worked in for many years. I translate a diverse range of marketing documents (such as brochures, sales literature, booklets, websites, labels and packaging, online marketing and e-commerce). When it comes to translations for the business sector, I work with a very wide variety of texts: corporate literature, PowerPoint presentations, websites, business correspondence, press releases and training material, to name but a few.
