General field: Bus/Financial
Source text - English
Personal websites and social networking websites have become prevalent methods of self-expression in our culture. XXXXXX Corporation (“the Company”) respects the right of employees to use these media during their personal time for personal interests and activities. However, when they identify themselves as employees of XXXXXX, either by using their XXXXXX email address or otherwise mentioning XXXXXX or related business matters, their actions may have consequences for the entire company. This policy applies to all employees who make web postings using a XXXXXX computer or personal computer that affect the Company, its employees, or affiliates, including competitors.

Most of the rules set forth in this policy simply reflect existing Company policies, such as XXXXXX Acceptable Use Policy and the Media Policy, and the XXXXXX Global Business Standards. Violation of any of these guidelines may lead to disciplinary action up to and including termination.
Translation - Swedish
XXXXXX Corporation ("Företaget") respekterar sina anställdas rätt att använda dessa medier under sin lediga tid för personliga intressen och aktiviteter. Däremot kan deras handlingar få konsekvenser för hela företaget om de identifierar sig som anställda vid XXXXXX genom att antingen använda sin XXXXXX e-postadress eller i övrigt nämna XXXXXX och relaterade affärsfrågor. Denna policy gäller för alla anställda som publicerar på Internet via en av XXXXXXs datorer eller personlig dator där detta kan påverka Företaget, dess anställda eller närstående bolag, inklusive konkurrenter.

De flesta regler i denna policy reflekterar helt enkelt befintlig företagspolicy, så som XXXXXXs Policy gällande godtagbar användning och Mediapolicy, samt XXXXXXs Globala affärsnormer. Brott mot någon av dessa riktlinjer kan medföra disciplinära åtgärder upp till och inklusive avsked.

Sign the petition for cork and choose bottles with corks. The increasing number of screw caps on wine bottles instead of cork ones is threatening 2 million hectares of forest in Portugal, Spain, Italy and North Africa. Industrial exploitation of this wood plays a big part in the prosperity of cork forests. This has ensured the preservation of these spaces for centuries. WWF estimates that up to three quarters of these forests could be lost if screw caps, which have already increased on the wine market over the past 10 years (up from 5 to 30%), keep gaining ground. If this happens, producers will leave cork behind and plant eucalyptus trees, which don’t come from this region. This upheaval could endanger the survival of several species that live in these forests – several birds as well as the Iberian lynx which is under threat of extinction.
Translation - Swedish
Skriv på namninsamlingen för kork och välj flaskor med kork. Den ökade användningen av skruvkorkar på vinflaskor i stället för korkar hotar 2 miljoner hektar skog i Portugal, Spanien, Italien och Nordafrika. Industriellt utnyttjande av den här skogen spelar en stor roll för korkskogens välmåga. Den här användningen har medfört att de här områdena bevarats under århundraden. WWF uppskattar att upp till tre fjärdedelar av de här skogarna kunde gå förlorade om skruvkorkarna som redan ökat på vinmarknaden under de senaste 10 åren (från 5 % upp till 30 %) fortsätter att vinna andelar. Om detta händer kommer odlarna att överge korken och plantera eukalyptusträn som inte har sitt ursprung i den här regionen. Den här omvälvningen skulle kunna hota överlevnaden för många olika arter som lever i de här skogarna - flera fågelarter liksom den utrotningshotade iberiska lokatten.

Bio

I work as a freelance English-Swedish translator since 2003. In 2011 I obtained a
translator authorization from The Legal, Financial and Administrative Services
Agency of Sweden.

 

I have translated for direct clients such as: The World Bank, G Adventures,
Robinson & Lawing LLP, Harper’s Magazine and BongoUS, as well as for
numerous translation agencies such as: Lionbridge, TransPerfect, Language Intelligence,
RWS Life Sciences, TranslatePlus, SDL International and Venga.

 

I also have over 30 years of marketing and creative writing experience, as well
as a background in theater, music and other performing arts.

 

My native language is Swedish.  Because I
have lived and worked in several parts of Sweden and the Swedish speaking part
of Finland, I have a good feeling for the different variations within the
Swedish language and am familiar with situations that demand different types of
formal/informal language.

 

At present I live in the United States and have dual citizenship Sweden/USA.

 

I am a ProZ.com Certified PRO member and own the latest versions of Trados Studio
and MemoQ CAT tools.
