My
native language is Persian/Dari and I have lived in

Sweden for more than 40 years, which gives me a first-hand knowledge of Swedish
life and current affairs.

I have
qualifications from both English and Swedish universities and work experience
in the Sweden and in Denmark.

Ten plus
years' experience in translation I started translating professionally in-house with an agency that
handled a wide range of texts, where I learned to translate reports, legal and
informative documents for public-sector clients, and a range of marketing and
business texts for companies and private individuals. At the same time I
studied for my Special Language Diploma, gaining a solid knowledge of translation
theory and the practical skills of using style guides finding and organizing
terminology, and compiling glossaries.

This was an
ideal supplement to my earlier BSc in business

information and experience of writing abstracts for technical journals.

I have
been an independent translator since 2013 and took further training in legal translation, aiming
to specialist in my particular field of interest while still enjoying the
variety of many different assignments.
Naturally, I have worked with CAT tools, and currently use Memsource Many
of the texts I translate are comparatively small, such as Correspondence
– websites – marketing and publicity material – information to
patients – contracts – CVs and personal documents.

Larger
projects I have worked on include

– a report

on use of IT by the general public in Sweden

– a report

on the swedish education system

– part of a

textbook on Swedish law 

I can
usually manage a fast turnaround if you need a translation

quickly, but I prefer to take the necessary time to write a readable text
and check all the details.

Privacy policy: What data do I collect?

1.   I collect details
from clients/customers in order to receive orders, correspond about performing
assignments, and to invoice and collect payment. These are details of companies
or business entities, although some of them are sole traders.
There is no time limit on the use of data
in this way, and it continues until the agreement is terminated by the client
or by me. I will then delete the client’s data.

2.   I occasionally
receive assignments from individuals,
and I am prepared to delete their data if
requested after the assignment is completed.

If it is advantageous to retain the material for reference when carrying out
future assignments for the same client, I normally do so. This often means I
can deliver new assignments faster or at a lower price. Most data I receive is
not personal or sensitive, but if it is, I will delete it.

3.   In the course of my
work as a translator, I may receive documents for translation which contain personal information and details that can
identify individuals in their business capacity.

In many cases, typically in marketing material, these details are publicly
available, e.g. names of directors, managers and employees of companies, with
telephone numbers, mail addresses etc. inviting contact with the companies.
I treat all material entrusted to me for
translation as confidential, and I do not pass it on to anyone except the
client.

4.  
Occasionally I receive documents for translation that
include personal details about identifiable
private individuals, which may be sensitive information. These may for
instance be birth certificates, marriage contracts or certificates, CVs or
examination certificates etc.
I may save templates of standard
documents, but all personal details will be deleted.
