Career / Experience

Hi!

My name is Erik Gärdekrans and I am a translator from Sweden, Stockholm. I started out my career as a basic nurse for 10 years within Swedish health care, then moved on and educated myself to a high school teacher in English, German and Swedish. I worked as a teacher for approximately 10 years.

For the last 5 years I have been working as a translator, and for the last 3 years, translation has been my chief occupation. Today, I translate for some of the word leading translation companies, but also for smaller agencies.

The work I have done has involved translations from English-Swedish, German-Swedish, Danish-Swedish, French-Swedish, Italian-Swedish and English-German.

My jobs are often technical, medical or HR-related to their nature and I generally do around 4.000 words / day.

Last year I earned the designation Certified Translation Professional from the Global Translation Institute. This year I will start my studies on a Master Program in translation at Växjö University, Sweden.

I have a passion for languages and especially enjoy the creative process which translation involves.
