Resume

Andrew Lausberg, B.A., Post. Grad. Dip.

     With more than 10 years experience as a full-time translator, and over 160 completed translation projects, I have developed a focus and specialization in IT, Computer-related and business-related financial translation. Having lived for more than 15 years in Korea and Japan, this experience provides me with a strong cultural grounding for all my translation work. In addition, my training in linguistics and translation studies at the undergraduate and post-graduate levels allows me to bring a strong academic rigor to my practical experience. I have worked both alone and as part of project teams to translate documents by such well-known companies as Sony, Fujitsu, Canon and Epson.
