With over 15 years of experience, I have developed a specialization in marketing, business, academic, and literary projects. I use SDL TRADOS STUDIO 2011 translation memory software to ensure integrity and consistency throughout projects.

My main asset is my ability to accurately translate a meaning, an expression, a sentiment, or a string. I am particularly interested in creative projects with an attention to cultural specificity.

Sectors include industrial companies, businesses, research organizations, government agencies, humanitarian organizations, publishers, universities, law firms, ad agencies, and others. My portfolio includes general or specialized texts: articles, books, reports, proposals, ads, brochures, labels, catalogs, manuals, patents, specifications, contracts, scripts, websites, etc.

Translation
My translation services are operated under the business name of "Apropos". I am a native Dutch speaker with eight years of professional translating experience. All Dutch to English translations are proofread by a native-born American-English speaker. Please check my website at www.cornetsdegroot.com/apropos for samples of my work.

Proofreading
My proofreading is the checking for typographical errors, grammar, syntax, and style. I take special care in maintaining the integrity and expression of the author's original work.

Editing
Editing extends to assuring of the integrity of the lay-out and style, and the preparation of documents both typographically and with respect to content. This includes feedback on localization issues within my areas of specialization.

Advanced Testing
Apropos provides testing of web content for localization projects such as meta-tags, forms, databases, etc.
