High-quality, professional, human translations

Based in Sheffield (UK) and with over 17 years’ of experience in translation of Dutch and German into English, I offer high-quality, professional services in translation (including certified translation in both languages), post-editing, proofreading/review and revision of English texts.

Certified Translation

A certified translation is one which fulfils the requirements of the country in which it is to be used, enabling it to be used in formal procedures such as passport and visa applications, as well as legal proceedings like marriages and divorces.

Why Choose Human translation over AI?

You may be asking, why should I choose a human translation when I can get it done by AI these for a much cheaper price? Although AI has benefits in terms of timescales and costs, it may fall short when it comes to producing a professional text fit for its audience. Often, a proofread by a human is still required to check the message is as intended. Most notably, AI is not suitable for texts containing confidential or personal information. There are many aspects of human language and communication that AI cannot replicate. For example:

Context – AI does not ‘see’ where and how text is laid out and how this affects the message
Human writing is nuanced and varied, while AI can draw on the same phrases and patterns
Human translation offers added value, such as spotting source errors, punctuation issues or consultation on style
AI cannot offer data security
A human translator cares about the output, offering humanity and authenticity to a text
