Peter Guest, professional translator and member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists
“I have 40 years' experience in translating technical texts for the nautical sector.”
My name is Peter Guest, and I am a professional translator and member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists, with 40 years' experience in translating technical documents into English, Spanish and Catalan, specialising in the nautical sector.
Throughout my extensive career as a qualified technical translator and member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists, I have drawn on my own experience as a sailor in England and Spain to work with boat builders, importers, manufacturers of nautical equipment, insurers, maritime service companies, yacht clubs, marinas and specialised publishers of nautical charts and navigation books, among many others.
During my professional career, I have worked with major shipyards, fishing companies, shipping agents, port authorities, pilotage services, civil engineering and port infrastructure companies, NGOs, manufacturers of ship equipment and systems, insurance companies and SOLAS equipment producers.
Quality, coherence and consistency in translations
By using translation memories and working with your technical team, I can guarantee the quality, coherence and consistency of your technical nautical translations while reducing your costs and delivery times.
Consistency
Maintaining coherence and consistency across all translated texts, ensuring that the same terms and phrases are used for the same concepts.
Time saving
Speeding up the translation process by providing quick access to previous translations, which shortens delivery times.
Error reduction
Reusing previously approved, high-quality translations reduces the likelihood of translation errors.
Cost efficiency
Reusing translated content reduces both the work needed to translate a new text and the number of words invoiced. Because phrases and expressions that recur across documents do not have to be translated again, translation costs fall.
Accessibility
A translation memory gives faster access to specific terms, improving quality and avoiding unnecessary searches. Terminology databases can be built from the memory and the documentation, ensuring that approved terms are used precisely. Integrating them into the process guarantees quality and efficiency while reducing costs and delivery times.
