What I'm looking for

I seek translation work focusing on technical, medical, marketing or EU content with professional clients, reliable deadlines, and opportunities for long-term collaboration.

I am a professional translator and founder of Translation Service Johanna Lahtinen, operating since 2002 and registered in Finland. I hold a Master of Arts in English Translation and Interpretation from the University of Tampere and bring long-term client relationships, including work for Meta Platforms Inc.

My core expertise covers technical documents and manuals, medical translations, social media content, marketing materials, EU documents, and general translations such as press releases. I work with source languages English, French and Finnish, and translate into Finnish and English.

I am a member of the Finnish Association of Translators and Interpreters and work with industry-standard CAT tools (Trados Studio, Wordfast Pro, memoQ, XTM) in a Windows 11 environment to deliver accurate, consistent, and timely translations.
