Have you ever read a manual written by an engineer?
Chances are you were impressed by their knowledge, but unsure of the meaning.
Once you add translation into the mix, wires can definitely get crossed.

My job is to produce a translated text that preserves key technical information and provides a user-friendly experience for readers.

My commercial and linguistic training means I am able to make dry and complicated documentation read well in English for a target audience who aren’t fluent in tech-talk.
