Avgi P.

Hi, My name is Avgi Platanidi. I hold a degree in Greek, Pedagogy & Psychology as well as a certificate of Proficiency in English. I am also bilingual in Greek and English due to parentage. I have been working as a freelance translator for private projects, companies and established linguistic services for 15 years. I have also worked as a transcriber, voice-over professional, content writer and as an English tutor. I am efficient and thorough, always striving to convey the meaning, depending on the targeted audience, aim and local perception. I meet all of my deadlines and, above all, I enjoy and love what I do. This year I completed an intensive multi-module one-year course in translation), as I consider continuous learning and advancement a necessity, especially in this line of work. The course included the following subjects: - Technical, financial and legal translation - Editing and proofreading - Trados, Wordfast and Phrase workshops - Terminology and translation of European Union documents - General subtitling and subtitling for the deaf and hard-of-hearing (SDH) - Translation Project Management - Reverse translation - Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE) I work mostly with: * technical & medical content * general content & press articles * audiovisual translation (subtitles, voice-over) * websites (travel, food, art, culture-related texts, etc.) * academic texts (philosophy, sociology, history, literature, psychology, pedagogy, etc.) * finance and law Regarding voice-over, I have undertaken many projects through the years, including animation characters, children's books, promotional, e-Learning and corporal, etc. Unfortunately, a large part of my work is confidential or copyrighted but you can find samples of various texts I have translated and a multi-character demo in my portfolio, as well as my CV. I would also be happy to translate or record a small sample of the project for which you are hiring. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Avgi less
