Bio

Translation and MTPE: FR/EN > NL/NL and NL/BE

Proofreading: NL-NL and NL-BE


What is my professional and educational background?

I am a 49-year-old translator from the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium with 20+ years of experience in translating French and English texts into Dutch. After obtaining a degree in Media and Communication Studies in 1997, I gave up my initial plan of becoming a journalist and decided to study translation instead, with English and French as my source languages.

My career as a freelance translator started directly after graduating in 2002. Fortunately, during this challenging period, I could fall back on the two translation agencies where I had interned as a student in the summer of 2001 for work. After being diagnosed with severe chronic bowel disease in 2005, I started work as an in-house proofreader and translator for a Brussels-based translation agency. The experience gained there allowed me to pursue my career as an in-house translator for a variety of organizations active in the field of real estate and urban development, social security, healthcare and IT services (see my attached CV for more detailed information).

In 2017, I picked up freelance translation again while also travelling as a house-sitter and pet-sitter in France and Belgium. My current clients are active in solar and wind energy and sustainable energy consultancy, in legal advice and real estate, project management software, social security and social servicestree health management and in marketing.


What services can I offer you?

Translation: English/French > Dutch (native speaker)

Capacity: 3,000 - 4,000 weighted words/day

Proofreading: NL-NL and NL-BE proofreading, EN>NL and FR>NL proofreading (with source text)
Capacity: 1,000 - 2,000 words/hour

PEMT/MTPE:

Capacity: 4,000 - 5,000 weighted words/day

Rate: 50 - 70% of my translation rate depending on the quality of the translation and the stated requirements for the final text


My specialisms are (sustainable) energy (solar and wind energy), legal texts (general terms and conditions, contracts, tenders, quotations, scope statements), real estate and urban development, technical and software manuals, marketing and media copy, social security and healthcare-related texts. Professional communication and attention to detail are the hallmarks of my approach as the client reviews on Proz.com (WWA section on this profile) and my Fiverr profile (+410 positive reviews) can attest.

As I also hold a degree in Political and Social Science (specializing in Media and Communication Studies), I am equally interested in translating texts related to political and social science, public relations, media and communication, psychology, sociology, (geo)politics and history. 

As I am not burdened by family responsibilities, I am available seven days a week and I do not charge a higher rate for weekend working. Although I can accommodate shorter timescales for urgent jobs, it is advisable to contact me one to two weeks ahead for more efficient planning. Feel free to contact me for a quote!
