Things I consider before accepting a project
In order to decide whether to get the project I consider the following things:
  • The nature and complexity of the text. I will never take a project that I can not handle.
  • The amount of time I need to complete the project. I will never take the job when I know for sure that the amount of time I have is insufficient. In case that during the work process something unexpected happens that will prevent me from meeting the deadline or completing the job, I'll notice you right away.
    Finalizing the project.
  • The layout of the final product is edited to resemble the layout of the source as much as possible.
Note: complex layouts which require heavy editing may include editing fee.
After I complete the translation it undergoes proofreading process.
The Final product is delivered to the client.

What do you get as a client?
  • Flexibility- I'm flexible to changes from the client's side. In case the deadline is pushed forward, the scope of the project changes, or anything else that may come up. I will always do my best to meet the new demands, assuming of course, it is reasonable.
  • Quality product, delivered on time- Before it is sent to you, the translated text undergoes proofreading process. I guarantee to meet the deadline that we agreed on.
  • Availability- I'm available most of the day, you're comments or requests will be answered no longer than 12-14 hours, and usually within 2-4 hours.

Due to the recent growing and troubling phenomena of CV and translator identity harvesting by scammers who use the information to impressionist and scam translation buyers, I have now made my CV available only upon request in order to help protect myself as well as any party interested in my services from this type of scam.

Thank you for your understanding.
