I thought it would be interesting if some of our readers would tell us about a great translator they have worked with. Excellence can be expressed in terms of an outstanding academic background/industry specialty, a broad command of languages (e.g., a translator who is certified in 5 or 6 language pairs), someone who has translated known works of literature, someone who has won translation awards. That kind of thing.

With the emergence of machine translation and CAT tools, it is easy to overlook the fact that the backbone of the translation industry is the many thousands of professional translators that have devoted themselves to their profession and that have a genuine love of language. These people deserve to be recognized.

You can tell us about your suggestions by adding a comment to this post, or send us an email to info@gts-translation.com with the subject: best translator.  Please be specific about why you think this translator deserves recognition. After a while I will post your suggestions in a separate blog post.

Here is my suggestion:

Matthew Schlecht: Matthew has a PhD in Physical Chemistry from Columbia University, among other advanced degrees. He is ATA-certified in Japanese to English, and also translates from French and German into English. He is an expert in translation of pharmaceutical patents, scientific reports and most forms of technical translation. The only negative I can say about Matthew is that he is usually too busy to handle our projects.
