MeAs a trained Computer Scientist and experienced Translator, I understand localization. I grew up with computers (my first was a Texas Instruments TI-99/4A).

I've since come to my senses and use 3 computers (a PC and two Macs, one that occasionally runs Windows).

Recent Projects

Subtitling project from French into three languages. I handled transcription of the source language, and generation of final video files.

RoboHelp project for a software company from English into three languages. I prepared the files for translation and compiled the final output.

PageMaker and QuarkXPress DTP project from French into six languages. There were five files totalling just under 200 pages. I prepared the files for translation, imported the translations back into PageMaker and Quark before doing post-translation cleanup.
