Environmental translation
My in-depth and wide-ranging knowledge of environmental issues makes me a specialist in environmental translation.
The environment is an umbrella term for a vast number of topics. A good translator should know them all, from climate issues, ecosystems or natural resources to conservation methods and their influence on human behaviour. Texts can be informative or specialized – or both – depending on the audience. That means that, besides technical knowledge, translators have to master different registers.
Here are some of the documents I have translated:
- Management plans for natural areas
- Manuals for wind turbines and solar-energy facilities.
- Urban waste-management plans
- Environmental impact assessments
- Local Agenda 21 development projects
- Sustainable urban planning schemes
- Sustainability studies
- Brochures on ethical consumption
