English to Czech translator and proofreader

Welcome!

Are you looking for an experienced professional linguist who could translate your text from English to Czech or proofread your Czech documents?

Would you like to ensure that the completed translation is flawless and written in a suitable style? Do you need your text adapted for the Czech readership? Or perhaps you would like to learn more about the practical side of translation process? Then you are in the right place.

I am a qualified English to Czech translator and proofreader and have been delivering documents of various types to the satisfaction of my clients since 2009. I am a full member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists (CIoL), the Institute of Translation and Interpreting (ITI) and its Medical Network (MedNet). In 2017 I was granted a Chartered Linguist (Translator) status. I work mainly with texts from the following specialist areas:

Medical, pharmaceutical and healthcare texts

(especially clinical trials documents including contracts and regulatory documentation, medical marketing, optometry, cardiology, patient reported outcomes, linguistic review etc.)

Social sciences

(history, education and training, e-learning, psychometric testing, theology etc.)

Official and public sector documents

(primarily in the area of English and Scottish law – letters, court documents, child protection plans, birth and marriage certificates etc.)

I would also be happy to translate or proofread texts on some other subjects (general scientific texts, texts for travel and tourism, culinary texts, fiction etc.). Please do contact me for further details.

You will find more information on my qualifications, experience and specialisms on the Profile and Portfolio pages.

If you would like to have your text translated or simply want to ask a question, please get in touch – I look forward to hearing from you.

I work in strict compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on personal data processing. More information is available on request.

I believe that good translation should read as an original piece of writing. As a former teacher of Czech language and literature I developed an eye for detail and also understanding of different styles in language which I can implement in my work.

Furthermore, I live in the country of my source language, and this allows me to be in touch with written and spoken form of English on a daily basis. That eventually means that I am familiar with many forms and nuances of the language and my translations capture not only the exact meaning but also the spirit of the originals.
