ABOUT ME
Welcome to my corner of the translation world. I'm Irene Winstrand, a native Swedish translator with a passion for precision and a background in accounting. With over a decade of experience in both financial management and linguistic expertise, I bring a unique blend of skills to every project.
My journey into the world of translation began in 2015 after spending over a decade working in various accounting roles. Armed with a Diploma in Computer Accounting and a keen eye for detail, I transitioned seamlessly into the realm of linguistic precision.
My educational journey in accounting, coupled with my deep-rooted passion for language, has provided me with a robust foundation to excel in my translation career. From meticulously handling bookkeeping tasks to delving into the intricacies of financial analysis, my years in the accounting field instilled in me a commitment to accuracy and efficiency that I carry into every translation project.
Since embarking on my translation career, I've had the privilege of working with esteemed clients, both directly and through Language Service Providers (LSPs). My specialization in Automotive, Business, and Finance has allowed me to dive deep into the terminology and nuances of these fields, ensuring that every translation is not just accurate but also culturally resonant.
In addition to translation, I've also ventured into the realm of project management, overseeing intricate linguistic projects with finesse and dedication. My certifications as a Certified Linguist and Certified Post-Editor attest to my commitment to delivering top-notch translations and reviews consistently.
Beyond my professional pursuits, I'm an avid enthusiast of old cars and motorsports. This passion has not only enriched my understanding of the automotive industry but has also provided me with an extensive vocabulary in this specialized field.
As a member of esteemed organizations such as Women in Localization and the American Translators Association, I stay connected with fellow language professionals and continuously seek opportunities for growth and collaboration.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I look forward to the possibility of collaborating with you on your next translation project.
