Translation service and editorial assistance to transform Swedish language scientific, technical, and scholarly dissertations, theses or articles into idiomatic English.

Quality

Every client engagement is performed using a rigorous system of quality assurance to ensure end products of the highest caliber.  I adhere to the “Generally Accepted Translation Practices” (“God translatorssed”) published as a guide for authorized translators by Kammarkollegiet in Stockholm.

My system for translation includes five steps:

1. The text is analysed for key terminology and to determine whether British or American English is to be used
2. A rough preliminary draft is prepared
3. Each paragraph of the draft is closely examined
4. A final draft is prepared
5. A final quality assurance review is conducted

My system for language editing includes three steps:

1. Closely examining the text and marking editorial changes manually on paper
2. Transferring these editorial changes into an electronic document and marking them using the “Track Changes” function in Microsoft Word
3. Performing a final edit by re-reading the manuscript and completing the process by checking for clear exposition of the main ideas and concepts and their proper expression in idiomatic American or British English.

Fees

Fees are based on the number of full pages to be translated and the complexity of the text. Discounted prices are offered to universities and non-profit organizations.  Swedish value added tax (VAT) will be added, when required.

Confidentiality & Professional Secrecy

All client engagements performed by certified public translators such as Gunilla Ramell are carried out under strict confidentiality and utmost professional secrecy.
