Translation brings together language, culture, technology, and people. It allows me to indulge my passion for languages on a daily basis and challenges me to explore the limits of understanding between different cultures. When I translate, not only do I become the union bridge between two languages but also between two cultures. To me, language is the very essence of translation: decoding and conveying a message in another language is challenging and rewarding. It makes my job all the more fascinating. And engaging with technology to streamline and enhance my workflow is worthwhile and fun. In short, I love translation because it’s challenging, fascinating, and fun.
Working as a freelancer means I have the flexibility to work at various hours in different time zones. Therefore, I can be available when I’m needed. Last but not least, I am multilingual - English, Dutch, and Afrikaans are all my native languages..
