What do my clients say about my work?
“The documents Pavla has translated for us are quite technical which required a good understanding of both English and her mother tongue Czech. It also required checking out equivalences in existing linguistic resources. I am quite a linguist myself – I studied classic languages (Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Aramaic, Arabic), I speak and write English, Dutch, German, French and Italian. I believe that Pavla has what it takes to be a really good linguist from both a theoretical and practical point of view.”
Dr John Wijngaards, Housetop Care Limited, Director
“I have no hesitation in recommending Pavla. She has always been a very helpful and obliging professional, who is a fast worker, producing excellent translations of quite difficult texts.”
Simon Hart, Wessex Translations, UK
“We have been working with Pavla for two years now – she translates texts from English to Czech. She helps us to bring global environmental issues to the attention of Czech people. She is one of our best voluntary translators – we can always rely on the quality of her work and the fact that it will be delivered on time. Her translations do not need any further corrections – they contain no errors and read really well in Czech. It is our pleasure to cooperate with her.”
Jana Pravdová, Greenpeace Czech Republic
“Pavla has worked with us since 2014 and we have found her to be conscientious, reliable and professional in all aspects of the translation work she has undertaken for us. In addition Pavla is very honest about whether or not she can meet our proposed deadlines, which we value immensely.”

“Pavla marks translations into Czech from students in all our DPSI and DPI preparation courses at South Thames College. She provides thorough feedback and suggestions so that trainee interpreters can improve and prepare for these exams.”
Mariana Haladj Asminian, DPSI and DPI tutor, South Thames College, UK
“During the time I have been responsible for coordinating the translation projects for Vandu Language Services I have been supported by Pavla multiple times with Czech translation and proof-reading assignments. Pavla has delivered punctual and accurate services which our clients have always been pleased with. It is greatly appreciated when freelance professionals seek to deliver excellence and Pavla goes beyond that as one of our most reliable and treasured colleagues.”
Fletcher Davies, Vandu Language Services, UK
“Pavla Dohnalova came highly recommend to me by a college tutor. She helped me prepare for my written exam in DPSI (Law) and advised on practice techniques. Miss Dohnalova is a very experienced linguist and teacher who strives for perfection in her students; she is extremely thorough and is not satisfied with simply reaching the minimum level required to pass, she pushes her students on to attain the highest possible standard. Miss Dohnalova is very patient and honest; if she is unsure on any point, she will say so but she always comes back with the answer after researching the point. I cannot praise her highly enough as she has given me the most amazing support. Within a few months of working with her my writing skills improved significantly as did my grammar, punctuation and fluency – all things that are very important to her.”
