Anne Fine, poznata i proslavljena spisateljica, autorica je četrdesetak knjiga za djecu i odrasle te dobitnica brojnih nagrada za dječju književnost. Dvaput je izabrana i za dječjeg pisca godine.

English to Croatian: Children
Source text - English
The age at which children are considered responsible for their own actions has also changed over time, and this is reflected in the way they are treated in courts of law.
Translation - Croatian
Dob u kojoj se djeca smatraju odgovornima za svoje postupke se također mijenjala kroz vrijeme, što se ogleda u načinu na koji ih se tretira pred sudom.
English to Croatian: Claude Monet
General field: Art/Literary
Detailed field: Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
Source text - English
When Monet traveled to Paris to visit the Louvre, he witnessed painters copying from the old masters. Monet, having brought his paints and other tools with him, would instead go and sit by a window and paint what he saw.
Translation - Croatian
Kad je Monet otputovao u Pariz da bi posjetio Louvre, vidio je kako slikari kopiraju slike starih majstora. Monet je umjesto toga, uzevši sa sobom svoje slike i ostali alat, sjedio kraj prozora i slikao što je vidio.
English to Croatian: Financije
General field: Bus/Financial
Detailed field: Finance (general)
Source text - English
The field of finance refers to the concepts of time, money and risk and how they are interrelated. Banks are the main facilitators of funding through the provision of credit, although private equity, mutual funds and other organizations have become important.
Translation - Croatian
Područje financija se odnosi na pojmove vremena, novca i rizika te njihove međusobne povezanosti. Banke su glavni davatelji sredstava kroz dodjelu kredita, iako su dioničarstvo, zajednički fondovi i ostale organizacije postali važni.
English to Croatian: Marketing
Source text - English
Marketing is an integrated communications-based process through which individuals and communities discover that existing and newly-identified needs and wants may be satisfied by the products and services of others.
Translation - Croatian
Marketing je združeni proces osnovan na kominikaciji, kroz kojeg pojedinci i zajednice otkrivaju da se njihove postojeće i novoutvrđene potrebe i želje mogu zadovoljiti kroz proizvode i usluge koje nude drugi.
English to Croatian: Brain
Source text - English
Despite rapid scientific progress, much about how brains work remains a mystery. The operations of individual neurons and synapses are now understood in considerable detail, but the way they cooperate in ensembles of thousands or millions has been very difficult to decipher.
Translation - Croatian
Unatoč brzom znanstvenom napretku, još uvijek postoji velika misterija o načinu na kojeg funkcionira mozak. Aktivnosti pojedinih neurona i sinapsi danas razumijemo do popriličnih detalja, no vrlo je teško protumačiti način na kojeg rade u skupinama od više tisuća ili milijuna.

Bio
After learning English for 9 years in grammar school and high school, I had spent my final year of high school in the United States. During this time I moved from ESL (English as a Second Language) class to Creative Writing class together with my peer Americans. In addition to this, I wrote stories for the school newspaper.

Back in 2009, when I had more time on my hands, I was the second leading translator in Facebook translating community, translating Facebook from English to Croatian: See Leaderboard.

I "feel" English language very well and get many praises from native American English speakers. My e-mails are written in English as much as in Croatian.

In 2010 I acquired a CPE - Certificate of Proficiency in English.

Having two pre-school kids means that I have an inside view of children's world (games, cartoons, their interests etc.).

I have translated more than 800 episodes for different TV shows, series, and movies.

I read cyrillic alphabet, so I can easily read materials in Serbian written in cyrillic script, and translate them into English.
