At 10 years of age I would often visit my next-door neighbors from the UK to help me out with my English to Dutch translations of video game manuals…
My first professional translation assignment was an English to Dutch translation of a Service Agreement for a travel agency while I was learning Japanese in Perth, Australia.
Working part-time next to my university studies in Taiwan, I started accepting Chinese and Japanese to English translation assignments of business and engineering related texts, dissertations, and other texts for professors at the university and external contractors.
To gain more translation assignments I eventually created a profile on Proz.com, the world’s largest community of translators. Through Proz I entered into many new language service relationships, some of which endure to this day.
After years of working as an independent contractor, the time came to move forward. The idea for Koert Translations was conceived in January 2017, after a two-week Vipassana mindfulness retreat at a Buddhist Sanctuary in Malaysia.
In February of 2018, Koert Translations was officially established in Zurich, Switzerland. Soon after, in March, we incorporated Koert Translations LLP in the U.K. We are now open for business!
