Job history

I have been a full-time professional translator into English for nearly the whole of the past quarter-century: beginning with the British government from 2001-09, then at a leading Dutch translation agency from 2010-12 (with freelance translation work in the year in between while I was a teacher of English at a Dutch school). I also taught English at a school in Georgia for a year (1999-2000). I became a freelance translator in 2012 and a qualified conference interpreter (University of Ghent) in 2015.

For one academic year, I taught final-year undergraduate students of Dutch-to-English translation at ITV School of Interpreters & Translators, Utrecht. I have been a guest teacher of interpreting from Dutch to English at both of the Flemish universities which have a postgraduate course in that subject: Ghent and KU Leuven.

In 2010, seven months after immigrating to the Netherlands as a 30-year-old, I translated an entire Dutch philosophy Ph.D. thesis into English as a freelancer to great satisfaction. (See sample chapters further up this profile page.) I have since become a regular translator of specialist Dutch theological and church-history books by professors and other academics, published by Brill at Leiden.

The languages from which I regularly translate into English are Dutch and German (on a daily basis), Russian and Georgian (on a monthly basis), and French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian (on an occasional basis). I have lived and worked in Dutch-, German-, Russian- and Georgian-speaking environments, am fluent in all four languages and have on each occasion conducted my social, professional and church life fully in those languages.

Experience & Skills

I have particularly developed skills in formal English (the strongest of all being for academic, historical and theological texts), governmental and diplomatic English, accurate transcription of English (and of my other main languages), and English as used in church contexts. I had extensive and intensive liaisons with government and NGO officials from the other English-speaking countries during my eight years as a civil servant, particularly in the United States, and am well familiar with all formal and many informal usages of North American varieties of English.

Education

My M.A. degree is in Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic (St John’s College, Cambridge). I am therefore able to translate all Celtic and Germanic languages, old, mediæval and modern. My most practised Celtic language is (modern) Scottish Gaelic, which I listen to for an average of two hours a day. I grew up in Britain with a Scots father and an English mother.

Interpreting (Tolkdiensten)

Since going freelance, as well as routinely interpreting for the institutions of the European Union both into English and into Dutch, I have undertaken numerous (consecutive) interpreting engagements between those two languages for Christian organisations and board meetings, for audiences of up to 4,000 and regarding annual budgets up to €1,500,000.

I also have experience with simultaneous (booth) interpreting for church services, Dutch to English and Russian to English. I graduated from Ghent University in 2015 as a conference interpreter with English A, Dutch B and German C. I am now working to add first French and then Greek C for the EU.

Voiceovers (Inspreekdiensten)

I have done a series of English voiceovers for a Dutch national media client and a leading Dutch translation and interpreting agency. I have a clear, educated British voice with sensitive intonation and pausing. I am now engaging in two audiobook projects, for both of which I will record the entire book in English.

Tutoring (Bijles)

I have successfully tutored Dutch-speaking and Georgian-speaking students, with mastery of English ranging from elementary to advanced levels, to pass professional examinations, to write academic theses in English, and to apply for jobs requiring a good level of English.

English Writing

For the same client and for another Netherlands-based educational organisation, Holmwood’s Online Learning, I write articles for students of English at levels from A2 (elementary learner) up to C2 (near-native learner). I am well versed in writing and editing sensitively to capture interest in a wide range of fields, and with reference to the varieties and levels of English that the readership is confident with.

Literature

I have had lifelong exposure to a great range of English literature and music, and am able to translate literature sensitively, including poetry and musical texts.

Bible translation and Church History

I am also a Bible translator for the Trinitarian Bible Society and the US-based Russian Bible Society (working directly from the Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek) for two languages of the Caucasus. Through these connections, but also building on my experience in academic Latin and Greek translation going back twenty years, I have built up a portfolio in the translation of high-level mediæval and Early Modern Latin to English, in specialist fields including theology, philosophy, medicine and law. I am able to transcribe scans of original C16th and C17th folio editions accurately, including Greek ligatures and Hebrew words, and use Microsoft Word features sensitively to reproduce the layout (a key feature to the full intelligibility of Early Modern scholarly texts) in its full detail.
