Collaborating translators

All translations into English are performed in-house; however, I do occasionally use collaborating translators for projects requiring translation out of English, e.g. English>Icelandic, English>Swedish, English>Norwegian etc. Where projects are outsourced, only certified mother-tongue (see glossary) professionals, accredited by their national organisation are used. I do charge an additional fee for outsourced projects and will always inform my clients where projects are outsourced.
