Translation
Translation services are available in the following language combinations:
English – Macedonian; Macedonian – English; Swedish – Macedonian; Swedish – Serbian; Swedish – English; English – Serbian; Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian – English; Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian – Macedonian
In the translation process I use online, electronic and hard-copy dictionaries, glossaries, expert literature, term databases and CAT tools – WordFast and Trados, as well as others to ensure consistency and accuracy.
I always opt for the translation of the meaning of the sentence, rather than the meaning of the words.
I pay significant attention to provide internal cohesion of the text produced by the translation, both semantically and formally.
I always tend to produce constructions that are very likely to be produced by a Macedonian language native speaker.
The final goal is to produce a readable, accurate and natural flowing new original.
