Margita Soldo Ivančić

@margitasoldoivani

Translator and sworn translator at Linguistified, translating EU, legal, and IT content between English and Croatian.

At Linguistified, I translate, localize, proofread, interpret, and edit content, including work for EU institutions and global IT companies. My projects include legal, technical, healthcare, marketing, and institutional materials.

As a freelance translator and proofreader, I’ve worked with translation agencies since 2013 and with direct clients in Croatia since 2006. I also deliver certified translations for official and administrative use.

I use CAT, terminology-management, and QA workflows to support consistency and compliance with project requirements. I hold an MPhil in English and Applied Linguistics from the University of Cambridge and am a Certified Court Interpreter for English and Italian.
