Professional English<->Greek Translation Services
For the past 6 years I have been working as a professional freelance English to Greek & Greek to English translator and localizer. My fields of specialization are: Medical, Pharmaceutical, Financial, Technical Documents, Translation of Websites and Software (Localization / Globalization). I have collaborated mainly with large corporations and agencies providing English to Greek translation services (and vice versa), and have worked on several subjects and document formats.
I can handle many different file formats and Translation Memory systems, and my daily capacity is 3.500-4.000 words/day. Feel free to contact me with any queries or for a free quote on your project. In conclusion, I believe that through my work experience and the background I have acquired through my studies, I can offer English-Greek Translation services of the highest quality for your business!
