Profile Info

I am a highly professional Finnish Translator and undertake time sensitive and large assignments delivering superior ready to publish translations. I utilize strong core language skills with an ability to understand client preferences, utilize required terminology, and communicate efficiently with PM’s.

I am an SDL accredited English to Finnish freelance translator and would like to collaborate as your Finnish translator and proof reader. I am confident that you will find my services invaluable as I translate by three simple rules. Deliver on time, deliver ready to publish content, and be available pre and post-delivery for any real time customer modifications. I am a native Finnish speaker with an excellent understanding and control of the language. I translate 4000 words per day, and work evenings and weekends if an urgent turnaround is needed.

If both a translator and a proofreader are needed, I work as a team.

I have translated nearly one million words annually for the past seven years and have worked extensively for GE, GoDaddy, Microsoft, Apple, Intel, SAP and various other multinational companies through different agencies. I specialize in IT, software, website localization, telecommunications, human resources, general medical, general legal and business-related materials, user’s manuals, technical reference, business marketing, tourism and travel, engineering, education, electronics equipment, subtitling of TV programs/films, and creative literature.

I am proficient in Trados Studio 2015, Trados Studio 2014, Trados Studio 2011, SDL Trados 2007, SDLX and Wordfast Pro 6.0, Idiom Workbench, Smartling, MemSource, Translation Workspace, xliff, xtm and Idiom Worldserver.

Prior to working as a professional translator, I worked as an HR manager and assistant CFO for two American companies in Helsinki. I left to create and build a web design company that specialized in translation optimization of web content. I earned a master’s degree in finance from the University of Vaasa, Finland, with minors in English, Finnish and communications focusing on linguistics. Having been through the process of writing and editing a book which was subsequently published, I have a unique perspective and understanding of translating both creative and linear materials with a keen sense of language appropriate translations for specific target audiences.

My promise to you; high quality, consistent, on time, ready to publish translations at affordable rates all with effortless communication. I continue to study the nuances of the Finnish language and have travelled and lived abroad off and on for many years. I have studied English for fifteen years and being married to an American who has not yet mastered the complexities of Finnish I consider English my second native language.

Kind regards,
