About

I am a native English speaker with over twenty-five years of experience translating thousands of pages to English from several languages in many subjects, including legal, pharmaceutical / medical and financial documents. With respect to medical translations specifically, I have completed thousands of pages of documents in many language pairs and have an expert level knowledge of all diagnostic procedures and most diseases / medical conditions and anatomy. The medical documents that we translate include, but are not limited to patient records, informed consent forms, patient informational brochures, discharge summaries, pharmaceutical batch records and production protocols, operating procedures, ethics committee letters, market authorization correspondence, and clinical trial documentation.

In addition to my translation experience, I worked in Corporate Finance for 20 years, have a university degree in Finance, and am an actively licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA). I also hold FINRA securities licenses. I have spoken German for 40 years, Swedish, Spanish and French for 25 years, Polish, Russian, and Ukrainian for 20 years, and Dutch for 15 years. I have lived in 6 countries other than the USA where all of these languages are spoken, which has allowed me to reach fluency. I also studied at the University level in Sweden, Germany, and the Ukraine and have a working knowledge of Norwegian, Danish, Portuguese, Italian and Hebrew. Please see my webpage at www.petersentranslations.com or the Proz profile at www.proz.com/translator/22398 or LinkedIn profiles at www.linked.com/company/petersen-translations-llc and www.linkedin.com/in/kylepetersen. For your convenience, a CV is also attached.

Due to my level of fluency in various languages and native level fluency in English, together with the level of higher education and professional expertise and experience achieved, I can translate up to 5,000 words per day in a variety of subjects, depending on the language in order to meet your urgent language needs. In addition, you will not find higher quality, especially with respect to expert financial and medical translations. Rates for expert level medical, legal and financial translations / editing start at USD 0.12 / USD 0.03 per word for German, French and Spanish, USD 0.15 / USD 0.04 per word for Dutch and Italian and USD 0.18 / USD 0.06 per word for Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Polish, Russian and Ukrainian. Rates for general, non-specialized translations are lower. I can provide both US and UK English. Approximately half of all translations completed are in US English and half are in UK English.

I would be happy to provide a sample translation. I provide samples of up to 150 words free of charge.

Payments are accepted by ACH, wire transfer (within USA or from $1,000) or Paypal (additional fee applies) within 30 days of completion of translations unless other terms have been agreed.

I am immediately available full-time to handle all of your translation and/or editing/proofreading needs in the following language pairs:
