Hello there! My name is Mark A. Barnes and I am a self-employed freelance translator.

My specializations are in a broad range of fields including but not limited to: legal, medical, website localization, surveys, tourism, instruction manuals, product information, and especially academic, arts and sciences papers and books. Currently I am translating this site into Japanese: http://www.drinks999.co.uk/

After my long study-abroad and my self-employment experience in the tourism and translation industry this past year I am pursuing ATA certification. Although I am a new translator, I am not a typical beginning translator. Here’s why:

In addition to my six-year research project on the history of civil-military relations in Japan I have a BA in Political Science from Oklahoma State University and most importantly regarding translation I have 1 year of study abroad in Japan in Osaka and 3 years of formal schooling at Kyoto University all in Japanese attaining a Master of Laws degree in 2009.

All of my master thesis writing was done in Japanese from English and Japanese sources. I am also gaining additional insights into the translation industry by reading a book on the translation business.

My home office computer equipment includes two lap top computers with back up, high-speed internet access, and a scanner.

With each freelance project I undertake I guarantee high quality work delivered on, or before the deadline, and prompt response to emails, phone calls, and Skype calls. Please let me know if I can provide you with any additional information.
