Introduction

I am a full-time freelance translator translating from English and Chinese into Swedish, my native language. The bulk of this translation is from English to Swedish, mainly because it seems as if most Chinese documents are first translated to English before being sent out for translation to other languages, probably because it is difficult to find qualified translators from Chinese to many languages.

I have come to specialize in corporate business codes, general business texts and communications (HR, online learning, privacy/GDPR policies etc), consumer electronics (computers, cameras, home appliances, headphones, mobile phones, SLR camera manuals, gimbals, drones, and so on) as well as marketing texts/communications/creative translation/transcreation in these and other areas.

In addition, I translate texts in a wide variety of fields on an ongoing basis, in areas such as tourism, general technical documents, internet-related documents and so on. In addition, I enjoy the areas of government/politics, Taiwan/China-related texts, a field in which I have extensive knowledge, as well as photography and bicycling, two active hobbies.

I translated three of the essays in the book "Jag har inga fiender, jag hyser inget hat, Valda dikter och texter" by Liu Xiaobo (ISBN 978-91-85849-55-0, published in November, 2011), a collection of texts by 2010 Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo, from Chinese to Swedish. I also translated parts of, and oversaw and managed the translation by me, two other translators and an editor, of Shih Ming-te's book "Common Sense" (ISBN 9868552354), from Chinese to English.

In addition to my freelance business, I worked as an in-house translator, managing six translators as chief translator at a local newspaper for 20 years, but have now given that up to work full time with freelance translation.

I have been a sworn translator (Auktoriserad Translator) from Chinese to Swedish certified by the Swedish National Board of Trade (Kommerskollegium), but certification expires when living outside the EU for an extended period of time.

I have received training in machine translation post editing from one of my clients, and will also consider such projects.

Specializations:

• Business documents (business conduct codes, anti-corruption manuals and policies, discrimination and
  harassment policies, human resources, general business documents,
  business communications, personnel surveys, and e-learning courses in
  these areas)
• Consumer electronics manuals (camera manuals, home appliances etc)
• Taiwan/China affairs/sinology
• Government/politics/political science
• Photography (an active hobby, I (try to) sell stock images)
• marketing texts/communications/creative translation/transcreation in these and other areas

Other:

I also work in many other areas, but
as a rule reject technical (engineering, automotive...), legal and medical texts, although I may
consider general texts in these areas
