To project managers, whom it might concern

If considering me for a job, please note that the post-translation services that I provide are defined as follows (according to BS EN 15038:2006):

REVISION = examining a translation for its suitability for the agreed purpose, comparing the source and target texts and recommending corrective measures;

PROOFREADING = checking of proofs before publishing;

REVIEWING = examining a target text for its suitability for the agreed purpose and respect for the conventions of the domain to which it belongs and recommending corrective measures.

I'm glad to be of service, and I will do my best to ensure your clients get value for money. However, please be prepared to answer LOTS of questions and to put up with my punctiliousness. I can also be quite headstrong and opinionate, especially where language is concerned.
I appreciate job-specific glossaries, reference materials, and any other input on your side; in turn, I'm happy to contribute any reference material or information that I have and might be relevant, as long as I'm not breaching other clients' confidentiality.
Most importantly, your feedback is always welcome!

This being said, I look forward to working with you on interesting and rewarding projects.

Yours,

Ioana

Recent projects: 2009

My most recent translation is The Journey of Man: A Genetic Odyssey, by Spencer Wells, of Genographic Project fame. The GORGEOUS Romanian edition was published by Editura CD Press. CD Press specialize in geography, biology, Earth sciences and life sciences generally, and they do a great job of opening these fields to a young audience. Spencer Wells's book, though, is aimed at a wider readership, and it is the publisher's way of celebrating Darwin year.

Luke Rhinehart, The Search for the Dice Man, Romanian edition entitled Întoarcerea Omului Zar.

Other projects: 2006

I pride myself on having translated Dorling Kindersley's Smithsonian Earth

Please note that right now I'm doing postgraduate research, which is sure to affect my availability. However, I'm open to negotiation on a project-by-project basis :)
