Bio

SIMON EVIN

"To ensure you are heard, and heard well."

Background 

My passion for language has always been a part of childhood. Always keen to get to the bottom of things, I've been exploring, studying and learning English, German and my native Slovak with genuine interest to understand, not just know. This led me both to pursuing academic qualification in language as well as to involvement in translating and interpreting very early on.  

My education is in English and German Philology and English Language Teaching. The study of language instruction and my involvement in teaching has been invaluable in keeping approach my translation not mechanically but creatively and in-depth. 

Experience and Expertise  

I've been closely working with a translation agency (MORE-PJC s.r.o.) for a number of years, having started during my studies already. I've translated a wide range of document types including technical datasheets, ergonomics software, qualification certificates, legal contracts, training videos and others.

I'm also experienced in interpreting religious discourse (sermons, lectures...) and translating texts dealing with religion - I've already translated a few books, study courses and numerous articles in this field in close cooperation with religious organizations. This significantly helps me focus on the tone, mood, purpose and other "soft" aspects of the text at hand.

How I Can Help YOU - Precision and Intention

I believe that precision must go hand in hand with the complex communicative intent of the text as a key to successful translation. The synthesis of my experience with more technical texts for the agency as well as with religious discourse help me approach my work from both of these angles, giving me a unique skill-set that will prove invaluable for your projects and purposes.      

Why not contact me, be your needs more technical, more literary or anything in between?
