EXPERIENCE
I am a professional translator with an extensive experience in various fields. During my translator's career, I have been translating/proofreading/reviewing enormous volume of various automotive, technical, IT & software, business, government-related, marketing, advertising, copywriting materials and press releases. My end clients include different widely known manufacturers of cars, trucks, equipment, industry devices, tools, power tools, consumer electronics, furniture, software, applications, games, digital devices, hardware, etc., as well as European Parliament, European Commission, different EU institutions and bodies, etc. Such translations are my everyday work, and I have acquired the particular terminology in a high level, not to mention my Latvian language skills and ability to make my translations sound like they were not translated but written by a native speaker.
NB! Please don't ask me to do any unpaid test translations - I don't do them anymore. And please don't ask me to provide any references with contact details - I've never provided them. Thank you.
