‘Schrijven in een dagboek is een vreemde ervaring voor iemand zoals ik. Niet alleen omdat ik nog nooit eerder iets heb geschreven, maar ook omdat het mij lijkt dat later noch ik noch iemand anders geïnteresseerd zal zijn in de mijmeringen van een dertienjarig schoolmeisje.’
Translation - Spanish
"Para alguien como yo es una sensación extraña mantener un diario. No solo por el hecho de que nunca he escrito nada, sino porque se me da la impresión que de cualquier forma ni yo ni nadie más se interesaría por las confesiones de una colegiala de trece años."

The inverter does incorporate a mains frequency isolating transformer. This precludes the possibility of DC current at any AC port. Therefore type A RCD’s can be used.

De omvormer komt met een geïntegreerde scheidingstransformator voor netfrequentie. Dit voorkomt de mogelijkheid van DC-stroom op AC-stroompoorten. Het is daarom mogelijk om aardlekschakelaars van het type A te gebruiken.

Bio

I am a native Dutch all-round linguist with a CEFR C2 level both of
English and Spanish, offering translation, editing/revision, MT post-editing,
transcription, transcreation, content management and copywriting services.

Currently, I am Court-Certified Translator duly authorized by the High
Court of the State of Quintana Roo, Mexico and I am enrolled in a post-bachelor
course on legal translations (English – Spanish) at the Mexican Translators Organization (Organización Mexicana de Traductores),
which I hope to finish in November 2020, because of which I have ample
experience in the translation of legal texts and official documents from Dutch
and English to Spanish.

Other types of texts I regularly translate include website content,
e-learning content, blog posts, articles, and manuals.

Some of my regular clients are European translation agencies, trade and
service companies, law firms, travel agencies and individual clients in Mexico.

Although I have some experience with translation software tools such as Trados
and memoQ, I usually work on cloud-based tools like Smartcat, Matecat, and
Memsource.

Finally, I would like to mention that I consider myself to be
professional, punctual and unexpensive.
