TRANSLATION
“Without translation, I would be limited to the borders of my own country. The translator is my most important ally. He introduces me to the world. ”
— Italo Calvino
Every language is a world in itself with its own rules and strictures, but also one abounding with fascinating and beautiful phenomena. As a freelance translator from Czech to English and English to Czech working for various translation agencies and businesses in the Czech Republic I roam through these worlds everyday. My approach to translation is based on conscientiousness, thoroughness and absolute linguistic flawlessness, irrespective of how long it takes to get the job done. So, make yourself comfortable and let me be your guide in the hitherto unexplored world.
