Swedish to English: Diskoteksbranden i Göteborg General field: Other Detailed field: Media / Multimedia
Source text - Swedish Diskoteksbranden i Göteborg var en brand som inträffade natten mellan den 29 och 30 oktober 1998. 63 personer omkom och omkring 200 skadades, de flesta med invandrarbakgrund. Branden uppstod i en lokal vid Backaplan på Hisingen i Göteborg, där ett diskotek hade arrangerats. Cirka 375 ungdomar i åldern 12–25 år befann sig i lokalen, som var godkänd för 150 personer enligt gällande regelverk. Fyra ungdomar fälldes i tingsrätten år 2000 för att ha anlagt branden. Som anledning till varför de hade gjort det uppgav de att en av dem hade nekats gratis inträde till festen och därför ville hämnas. Branden anlades i möbler som belamrade festlokalens nödutrymningsväg.
Translation - English The disco fire in Gothenburg occurred on the night between 29 and 30 October 1998. 63 people died and about 200 were injured, most with immigrant backgrounds. The fire broke out in a room at Backaplan on Hisingen in Gothenburg, where a disco had been arranged. Approximately 375 young people aged 12–25 were in the room, which was approved for 150 people according to current regulations. Four young people were convicted in the district court in 2000 for setting the fire. As a reason for why they had set the fire, they stated that one of them had been denied free admission to the party and therefore wanted revenge. The fire was started in furniture that cluttered the party room's emergency escape route.

Experience
Years of experience: 25. Registered at ProZ.com: Apr 2021.
Former CTO / VP of Engineering with 30+ years of software engineering
experience, including 8 years experience in the Swedish tech ecosystem.
I provide high-impact Software Engineering Consultancy
alongside a specialized International Tech Readiness practice for Scandinavian
scale-ups expanding into the global market.
Over three decades of managing engineering teams and scaling
architectures, I have built a deep domain expertise in software engineering.
Through years of engineering roles in UK, Europe and Scandinavia - including 13
months with my most recent Swedish enterprise client - and a consultancy
practice serving Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish tech firms, I understand how
Scandinavian platforms are built.
I also understand a critical roadblock these companies face
when expanding into the US and UK: Linguistic Debt in Developer Assets.
AI and traditional translation houses understand grammar,
but they don't understand software design patterns. They routinely miss
underlying system logic—turning an asynchronous queue behavior (snarast)
into a synchronous execution error (immediately) in public
documentation, or breaking webhook event schemas, or breaking software
execution due to poor localization. Because I operate at the intersection of
deep code, executive leadership, and technical translation, I ensure your
platform is truly native to the global market from day one.
Whether you need strategic engineering leadership to scale
your core product, or a comprehensive Tech Readiness audit to de-risk your
international launch, let’s connect.
