Swedish - English - Dutch

Hello and welcome to my site!

My name is Thomas and I am here to help you and/or your business with your translation needs. I have many years of experience working with translations to/from English/Swedish as well as from Dutch to English/Swedish.

Throughout the years, I have provided professional translation and proofreading services as well as language courses to customers ranging from private individuals up to large multinational corporations.

I am based in the town of Östersund in the province of Jämtland, Sweden. Most of my customers are based in Sweden but some are from overseas. My business has been registered as a private company with the Swedish Tax Agency since 2006 and operates in accordance with Swedish law. All services provided are subject to Swedish VAT.

This page contains a summary of my services.

Professional Translations (to/from English/Swedish and from Dutch to English/Swedish)

Are you or is your business in need of a professional translation to/from English/Swedish or from Dutch to English/Swedish? If so, contact me!

Regardless of whether you are a private customer or if you represent a large multinational corporation, no assignment is too small or too big.

I have dual mother tongues (English and Swedish) thereby enabling me to guarantee the following:

Idiomatically correct translations
Professional results
Extreme attention to detail
Í can "see" the small things which separate an acceptable translation from a flawless one
Regardless of target language (English or Swedish), the final result is always on a mother tongue level

Examples of Past Assignments:

Instruction manuals
Websites
Non-fiction literature
Tenders
Brochures
Advertising publications
Formal letter/e-mail correspondence
Presentations

I also have a fluent written and oral command of Dutch, my third language. For this reason I also offer translations from Dutch to English/Swedish. I do not however offer Dutch as a target language since it is not one of my mother tongues.

Using my translation/proofreading/language course services guarantees you the following:

Competitive prices: I run my business as a private company and do not have employees or additional overheads which means I can keep my costs down
No hassle: Send me the assignment and swiftly receive a quote
Open dialogue: If, during the course of carrying out an assignment, I notice any irregularities in the source document I will contact the customer thereby ensuring a professional end result
Registered company: Assignments are invoiced in accordance with Swedish tax law once completed - if the assignment is for a corporate customer, i.e. a business, it is highly likely that this can be written off as an expense and the VAT deducted (N.B. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that any deductions made are in accordance with applicable law)
Transparency: I never take on an assignment if I feel I cannot guarantee the quality of the final result

Proofreading/Editing

Very often, language quality can directly influence the impression you make and consequently the outcome.

In these cases, having your text proofread/edited can make all the difference.

A few examples of past proofreading assignments:

Presentations
CVs
Job applications/Covering letters
Written customer correspondence
Publications
Advertising material
