OK - Let's keep this really short then:


– Native Swede and freelance translator EN->SWE on several major sites (UpWork/Freelancer) since 2009, but primarily for a handful of renowned agencies in the EU/UK/worldwide via my own firm

– Background in Media studies/Communication/Linguistics/Literature/English from Lund University, Sweden

Having over 15 years of translation experience EN>SV in various fields, though mostly marketing and IT tech-related, for a plethora of clients, I believe I would be a good fit for this project.

From July 2013, I was contracted as a full-time consultant for a rather large IT company, where I, together with a handful of other Swedes, maintained and developed a database that contains over half a billion different topics. This included large amounts of research, reading and mailing, apart from the actual localisation.

As of August 2016, I have however, as a sole trader, decided to exclusively take on various translation/localisation tasks for companies mainly residing in the EU full-time. Clients include Amazon, Dell, Google, HP, Corsair, Meta, Pinterest, Huawei, Ricoh, Shutterstock, BMI, Hitachi, Genesys, HubSpot, Dropbox and many more.

My main areas of expertise are marketing/PR, IT, software documentation, home appliances, audio devices, literature, games and arts/music. I use CAT tools such as Trados 2021/2024, memoQ and Wordfast daily, as well as Smartling, XTM, Alchemy Catalyst, SDL Passolo, Phrase (formerly Memsource) and QA Linguist regularly, and appreciate solid communication with project managers to ensure consistent quality throughout.

My average rate for translation is normally in the region of EUR 0.10/word, EUR 0.06/word for MTPE and EUR 0.04/word for proofing.
I am however, open to negotiations if this is our first collaboration together. Feel free to throw me a question or two in case you need further info or references.

I look forward to hearing from you.
