I have been working as a translator (and interpreter) since 1984, when I was employed by a local subsidiary of a German company to do their in-house translations and other related work. Subsequently, I have been working as a free-lance translator while studying for my Ph.D. in German and linguistics at Georgetown University, beginning in 1987. I have worked for many translation agencies around the country, e.g., in New York, Boston, and Washington, D.C., and federal (U.S. government) agencies, such as the State and Justice Departments, the National Institutes of Health, and the Johns Hopkins University's POP-line, where in 1989, I wrote abstracts of population and birth control articles from the entire European domain of languages. Moreover, I have done major input and exploratory work, especially in the languages of Russian and Hungarian for Globalink, which was the largest machine-translation company in the mid-nineties. I am an active member of the American Translators Association, and other similar organizations in the US and overseas, e.g., SFOe (Swedish Translators Association).
I (personally) can provide translations into English primarily from Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, German, and Dutch, but also French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Czech, Croatian, Slovak and Russian. Most of these languages I can sight-read and translate orally in a fluent manner. Into foreign language competence: Danish and Swedish.
I have a large collection of tapes, CDs, DVDs, books and other instructional material, and a substantial library of dictionaries and foreign language reference materials, including electronic dictionaries and glossaries.
Interpretation, simultaneous or consecutive (dialog) from and into Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and German I can handle in such areas as legal depositions, business and political meetings, and teleconferencing. I passed the U.S. Department of State's interpreting test for Danish, Swedish and German. I was an interpreter for the ATT Communications and Language Line, a phone-based interpreting service, for several years.
I interpreted for C-SPAN on four occasions (one recently). I transcribed foreign-language tapes for one major television network and newspaper articles used in broadcast for another (60 Minutes on CBS - broadcast on East Germany) in 1991. I've also done Swedish translations and transliterations for the Late Show on NBC with Conan O’Brien.
Voice-over can be done for Danish, German and Swedish.
Areas of general, broad-brush expertise are: Patents, chemistry, medicine, commerce, science, law (corporate, litigation, patent, family), software localization, etc. I have done numerous litigation translations, typically on a rush basis. Types of translation output into foreign language have been user and technical manuals, instructional "How-To" handbooks, websites. Promotional sales literature and ad copy. Legal documents and extracts. Evaluation of websites, as well as brand names in a foreign setting. Relevant software capabilities: Microsoft Office for Windows Vista, WordPerfect, Trados/SDLX, WordFast localization tools.
Foreign residence (longer term) included Germany, Great Britain, France, and Denmark, Norway and Sweden. I have visited almost all of Europe, at one time or another, as well as the Middle East and North Africa plus traveled all continental US states, Quebec and the Bahamas on the North American continent.
On the artistic front, I placed #54 or so in the Music City Awards or Song Contest (I think it was called), the nationwide Nashville contest in 1986 or 85 based on an a-capella taped performance singing "Dixie Road." Was encouraged in Hollywood, CA, to do commercials as a "professor."
