Greetings future potential client, I am a trilingual professional translator on the look-out for reliable, professional long-term clients on various platforms. I specialize in the translation of legal/certified documents in Norwegian, English, and French. Of course, my linguistic skills apply for other areas as I have experience translating everything from medical and technical manuals to business articles and even e-sports. I have also experience in translation between codes (HTML and XML). I guarantee an error-free, manual translation, localized if needed be, while always respecting given deadlines. These are my language combinations: (NO-EN-FR) I can also translate from: SWE, DK, ESP, DE (not into). Note: My Spanish and German are B2, thus I can only translate from non-technical texts. Do not hesitate to contact me for the rates associated with the different language combinations. I look forward to our potential cooperation.Proofreading

I'm a native German, living in Norway. Since 2020 i am working as a German teacher. In addition, i am working since 2018 as a translator for German, English and Norwegian. If you are writing a book or you are working on your academic degree and you need a proofreader or a translator, i can help. Maybe you are creating content on social media or you are a pod caster and you are looking for a voice cover or a speaker, contact me. Regular communication is important for me; so lets keep in touch. About me: My name is Corina. In 2014, I moved to Norway. Living as sustainably as possible, in harmony with nature, has always been very important to me. I love animals and nature, and I have a passion for photography and design. Recently, I've ventured into more professional creative endeavors, and I'm truly excited about where this journey will take me. I'm eager to exchange ideas with people who embrace a natural lifestyle, have relocated to another country, or are considering doing so. If you have interesting stories to share – perhaps about spending years at sea as a sailor, living in the desert, residing amidst penguins, or being a city person with a captivating life story – I'd love to hear from you. Let's see if someone reaches out, and we can gather enough material to create a podcast or blog. I'm looking forward to hear from you. Grindaheim in Norway, is a small farm where I've been residing since 2014. Over the years, I've cultivated a tranquil space that allows me to live in close proximity to nature. The beauty of Grindaheim is evident in its diverse seasons, each with its own unique charm. Winter brings a gentle blanket of snow and a special quality of light, transforming Grindaheim into a fairytale-like landscape. During summer, the sun never sets, creating an enchanting atmosphere where one can stay awake all night long. The warmth and beauty of this season are unparalleled, with nature bursting into vibrant life, adorned with an abundance of beautiful flowers. August brings a bounty of berries, adding another layer to the natural tapestry of Grindaheim. Through my photography, I aim to share a glimpse of the story of Grindaheim and my time here since deciding to move to Norway.Proofreading

I was raised in the UK and am a native English speaker. I work as a full-time proofreader/translator. Around 75% of my monthly output comprises review assignments. I work with private and public sector clients, as well as academic clients, including students writing their undergraduate, master's and PhD theses, as well as texts written by senior academics. Because I translate in the Norwegian-English-language pairing, I have a unique insight into what I would call the “Scandinavian mindset”. This means I am familiar with the typical errors made by Scandinavians writing in English. Naturally, my proofreading skills also apply to texts written by non-native English speakers from other countries, as well as native English speakers. Over the years I have developed a very thorough revision methodology. A testimony to this is the amount of repeat work I receive. I would be happy to submit references. I would be also happy to submit examples of positive feedback I have received from "satisfied clients".Proofreading
