Bio
Hi,
My name is Petter Kjørstad - or informally just Pete, to keep it simple.
I work freelance from my home office in Trondheim, Norway.
I graduated from the Technical Translator course at Agder University in 1993, having spent one year at the Centre for Translation and Language Studies at the University of Surrey in the UK.
I have worked as a translator at Berlitz Translation Services in Oslo and Bergen for 5 years (including 6 months inhouse as a localizer at Microsoft World Product Group Ireland in Dublin), as a language consultant for Tolketjenesten i Trondheim kommune (Translation and Interpretation Service under Trondheim Local Authority) for 14 hears, as a Technical Writer at ID Kongsberg (6 months) and as a technical writer at Star Information Systems (7 years).
I started working freelance in April 1992. From September 2021 I provide my services under the company name PeText. I have translated and edited and/or proofread, texts in (among others) these fields:
- Academic dissertations/theses (proof-reading) - Automotive and transport - Communication technology - EU directives - Food and drink/hospitality - Literary - Marketing - Medical - Offshore/shipping - Public decisions - School and work certificates - Social sciences - Software and SW documentation - Sundry technical
My experience also includes: - Norwegian language teacher for foreign students - Web/SoMe editor - Copywriter for one of Norway's largest advertising agencies (HK Link) - Writing press releases
