Clear English for high-technology companies - anywhere

International English

Clear, well-written instructions and promotional material will give your company a competitive edge in export markets. Remember that English is not the first language for most of your export customers, so you need to try harder.

When you commission a translation into a language that you cannot check, you are relying totally on the clarity of the English source material.

I regularly write for an international readership. I know how to avoid ambiguous or un-translatable phrases, and especially how to handle the differences between American and British English.

I can arrange and supervise professional translations to and from other languages, making sure that the translator understands the technical terms.

I also undertake some translations of highly technical German material into English - often improving on the original presentation. Two different German companies have upgraded their original manuals by translating my English translations back into German!
