I am a multilingual translator specializing in translations from several European languages into English. My main source languages are German and Dutch. My service has been repeatedly used by TranslationPal, LLC (German, Dutch, etc.), Transferendi B.V. (Dutch, Indonesian) and Desindo Translation Service (Indonesian, Dutch, French, Italian). A more exhaustive list of my source-target language pairs: Indonesian to English, English to Indonesian, Latin to English, English to Latin, Ancient Greek to English German to English, Dutch to English, Danish to English, Norwegian to English Icelandic to English and Italian to English. I have been a prolific language learner from an early age, 12 years old to be exact. My learning has benefited from self-directed study of linguistics which enables me to systematically and analytically dissect various languages so as to have an easier time discerning them. I am a proficient user of SmartCAT; which is a professional computer-assisted translation software (not automatic translators like Google Translate). Professional translators use CAT apps mainly to boost efficiency and keep terminological consistency, not to replace the translator's expertise and intellectual effort. However, my default service is manual translation on Microsoft Word since that is what many clients are more comfortable with. I also have a membership at Proz.com, a website dedicated for professional translators worldwide. Although my passion is in linguistics, my actual professional academic domain is Petroleum Engineering with a focus on Geothermal Reservoir engineering.

Hello, My name is Kristel Moonen, and I am a native Dutch speaker currently based in the Netherlands. With over five years of experience in translation, I specialise in marketing translations, ensuring that messages resonate with the target audience while maintaining their original intent and impact. Additionally, I have experience with technical and medical translations. I am highly proficient in both US and UK English. I studied English for six years in high school and further honed my skills by completing a C2-level English course in the United States in 2016. Over the past six years, I have continued to refine my language abilities through academic studies at Dutch universities, where English (UK) was the primary working language. As an academic translator, I thrive on tackling challenging projects that allow me to showcase my skills. My background in Anthropology and Conflict Studies has provided me with a deeper understanding of cultural and societal nuances, which I apply to my translations to ensure they are not only accurate but also culturally appropriate and engaging. I take pride in bridging linguistic gaps and enabling effective communication between people who may not share a language but do share an interest. I am eager to collaborate on your next project and look forward to delivering high-quality, localised translations that truly connect with your audience.
