About pstranslations

Background

I live in Taiwan, and have previously also lived in China, the US and for a short period in Thailand. I have been working with translation since 1994, and full time since 2001. From 1994 to 1999 I was an Authorized Translator from Chinese to Swedish by the Swedish National Board of Trade. The authorization, which is only issued after a very strict test, is a guarantee for quality, but it unfortunately expires after an extended stay outside of the EU. Beginning in 2001, I am now a translator with the Taipei Times, an English daily in Taiwan.

I have broad professional experience. Apart from translation, I have worked for a Dallas, US, based raw cotton trader, a job which included futures and options trading. I have also worked as regional sales consultant for a US manufacturer of industrial domes, and with e-commerce and sales of industrial products in Taiwan.
