English to Greek: W. H. Murray - The Scottish Himalayan Expedition
Source text - English Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is on elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would come his way. I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets: 'Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.'	Translation - Greek Μέχρι να δεσμευτεί κανείς σ' ένα σκοπό υπάρχει διστακτικότητα, η πιθανότητα του πισωγυρίσματος και πάντα αναποτελεσματικότητα. Σχετικά με κάθε ενέργεια πρωτοβουλίας (και δημιουργίας) υπάρχει μια βασική αλήθεια, της οποίας η άγνοια σκοτώνει αμέτρητες ιδέες και σχέδια θαυμαστά: ότι τη στιγμή που δεσμεύεται κάποιος σε κάτι τότε μαζί του κινείται και η Πρόνοια. Ένα σωρό πράγματα συμβαίνουν προς συνδρομή του που δε θα είχαν συμβεί διαφορετικά. Ένας ολόκληρος χείμαρρος γεγονότων εκπηγάζει από αυτή την απόφαση επιφέροντας κάθε είδους απρόβλεπτων συμβάντων και συναντήσεων και υλικής βοήθειας, που κανείς δε θα ονειρευόταν καν ότι θα μπορούσε να βρεθεί στο δρόμο του. Έχω μάθει να έχω βαθύ σεβασμό σε ένα από τα δίστιχα του Γκαίτε: "Ό,τι μπορείς να κάνεις ή ονειρεύεσαι να κάνεις, ξεκίνα το. Η τόλμη κρύβει μέσα της ευφυΐα, δύναμη και μαγεία".

The guarantee for the quality of my work is, apart from my experience, the fact that I hold the prestigious (postgraduate) Diploma in Translation from the "Institute of Linguists" and my 6 years of Higher Education in the UK (BA English Studies and MSc Machine Translation).

Publications: No Sex Please, We're Brutish! | Αιδοίον το δηκτικόν

Web site translation, localization (including website optimization and submission to search engines), editing, proof-reading, creation of client-specific glossaries, multilingual optical character recognition (OCR), OCR post-editing, cultural consultation, Greek dictionaries consultation, web design.

Native Greek speaker who lived and studied for 6 years in England (BA English Studies, MSc Machine Translation & Institute of Linguists Diploma in Translation En-Gr). My web design and development skills are extremely useful when it comes to web site translation or localization (whether in html, asp, php or other scripting language). As far as my skills in search engine optimization it is not by chance that my site has acquired the highest rank in Google (as well as a number of other search engines) for the keywords "Greek Translation". You may also want to check my translation blog my personal blog, a poetry anthology and my poetry.
