Bio
Nearly every area of human activity has developed a specialized vocabulary, which may not be completely clear even to an average native speaker of a language without education or experience in that area. The equivalent of such vocabulary in another language is often not just a direct translation, but a system with different structure of usage and meaning.

When a specialized professional document is translated by a person equipped with only linguistic and no professional knowledge, the result is either an unprofessionally sounding document, or, worse, a document with a different meaning.When such a document is translated by a person educated and with experience in the relevant area, they will immediately understand all nuances of professional slang and specialized terms in the source text and be able to produce a document with the appropriate meaning in the target language, using only correct and relevant terminology.

This is why I only translate documents from fields I have direct hands-on experience in. I am originally a construction engineer, have completed extra architecture, IT and mechanical engineering courses and have studied/lived and worked in English-speaking countries on three continents.

My areas of expertise are:

= Engineering;
- Building, civil, etc., including all trades on building projects, such as advanced Building Management Systems, I&C, Fire Safety systems, Power, Data and other networks, Utility networks and distribution, etc.
- Mechanical
- Electrical, incl. advanced electronics

= Automotive and Aerospace industries, including specialized components (electronics, radio transmission, GPS, etc.)

= Anything technical including highly specialised areas such as automation and production control, optics, etc.

= IT, HW, Internet, SW and Programming, databases, Bank Information Systems, including POS and ATM systems, etc.

= Legal/Contracts - in combination with the above, or alone.

= Accounting/finance/tax

= Marketing, advertising and PR texts, annual reports

= Consumer surveys, focus groups, reports

= Press releases, articles, speeches (Translated former president Vaclav Havel's speeches, articles and press releases)...

= Transcreation/creative translations (advertising copy, books, film scripts, poems)
