Client Feedback (on Linguistic acumen and professionalism):

My QC process:

Apart from the mandatory proofreading and editing of the translation, I ensure that the translation conveys the word usage and essence as a mirror-image of the Source. This objective is ensured by – mentally – retranslating to the source language and thereafter, weeding out any superfluous words and/or expressions -not present in the source text.

Profile:

Excel in translating the tone and the difficulty level of the source text. Moreover, owing to my enviable command of both Hindi and English, I am able to attune the tone and difficulty level to the client's directions and/or the target reader.
