Source text - English We live in a world of international competition, technological advantages and changing popolation patterns. It is against this backdrop, that the European Commission launched its revised Lisbon strategy, which places increased emphasis on economic growth and jobs. By modernising our labour markets, we can help people seize the opportunities that a more global economy offers.
Translation - Finnish Me elämme kansainvälisen kilpailun, teknisten parannusten ja muuttuvan väestörakenteen maailmassa. Tästä lähtökohdasta Euroopan komissio julkaisi uudistetun Lissabonin strategian, joka korostaa lisääntyvää taloudellista kasvua ja parempaa työtilannetta. Nykyaikaistamalla työmarkkinat voimme auttaa ihmisiä tarttumaan tilaisuuksiin, joita tämä globaalimpi talous tarjoaa.
English to Finnish: Equality General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
Source text - English Equal participation of women and men in all aspects of society is crucial for lasting growth and democracy. It also symbolises a society’s level of political maturity. This ambitios goal, however, is far from being a reality despite substantial progress over the last 40 years spearheaded by the European Union.
Translation - Finnish Naisten ja miesten tasavertainen osallistuminen kaikkiin yhteiskunnan toimiin on elintärkeää jatkuvan kasvun ja demokratian kannalta. Se myöskin symboloi yhteiskunnan poliittisen kypsyyden tasoa. Tämä kunnianhimoinen tavoite on kuitenkin kaukana todellisuudesta, huolimatta 40 vuotta jatkuneesta merkittävästa kehityksestä jota Euroopan unioni on johtanut.

Bio
I am a Finnish translator with a degree in modern languages including English, and a Master's Degree in Specialised Translation. I have lived in the United Kingdom for 20 years and acquired fluency and accuracy in English, while maintaining my interest in my native language, Finnish.
I have been translating for over five years, first working for a market research company and later as a freelancer. I specialise in subtitling, social networking websites, commercial websites, sales and game localisation, market research, questionnaires, blogs, product descriptions, and travelling.
