Elisabeth Tauvon’s Summary

High-quality translations are crucial for any company. Good translation doesn’t just require good linguistic skills in the source and target languages. It also demands an ability to adapt the text to the intended area of use and target group. In my translations, I always aim for correct, easy-to-read Swedish that effectively conveys the message of the source text.
In my 13 years’ experience of translation and localisation projects, I have developed efficient project methods and built up an extensive reference library of dictionaries and term databases in many areas of expertise. I also use Trados’ translation memory tools to ensure high quality in every translation assignment.

Elisabeth Tauvon’s Specialties:

I have come to specialize in the Nordic market and can offer translations from and into most Nordic languages.
