English to Norwegian: 1st Annual ProZ.com Translation Contest - Entry #6830
Source text - English Heathrow Airport is one of the few places in England you can be sure of seeing a gun. These guns are carried by policemen in short-sleeved shirts and black flak-jackets, alert for terrorists about to blow up Tie-Rack. They are unlikely to confront me directly, but if they do I shall tell them the truth. I shall state my business. I’m planning to stop at Heathrow Airport until I see someone I know. (...)
Astonishingly, I wait for thirty-nine minutes and don’t see one person I know. Not one, and no-one knows me. I’m as anonymous as the drivers with their universal name-cards (some surnames I know), except the drivers are better dressed. Since the kids, whatever I wear looks like pyjamas. Coats, shirts, T-shirts, jeans, suits; like slept-in pyjamas. (...)
I hear myself thinking about all the people I know who have let me down by not leaving early on a Tuesday morning for glamorous European destinations. My former colleagues from the insurance office must still be stuck at their desks, like I always said they would be, when I was stuck there too, wasting my time and unable to settle while Ally moved steadily onward, getting her PhD and her first research fellowship at Reading University, her first promotion.
Our more recent grown-up friends, who have serious jobs and who therefore I half expect to be seeing any moment now, tell me that home-making is a perfectly decent occupation for a man, courageous even, yes, manly to stay at home with the kids. These friends of ours are primarily Ally’s friends. I don’t seem to know anyone anymore, and away from the children and the overhead planes, hearing myself think, I hear the thoughts of a whinger. This is not what I had been hoping to hear.
I start crying, not grimacing or sobbing, just big silent tears rolling down my cheeks. I don’t want anyone I know to see me crying, because I’m not the kind of person who cracks up at Heathrow airport some nothing Tuesday morning. I manage our house impeccably, like a business. It’s a serious job. I have spreadsheets to monitor the hoover-bag situation and colour-coded print-outs about the ethical consequences of nappies. I am not myself this morning. I don’t know who I am.
Translation - Norwegian Heathrow Airport er et av de få stedene i England der du kan være sikker på å få se et skytevåpen. Disse skytevåpnene bæres av politimenn i kortermede skjorter og svarte skuddsikre vester. Politimennene er på vakt og speider etter terrorister som står klare til å sprenge Tie Rack. Det er lite trolig at de henvender seg direkte til meg, men hvis de gjør det skal jeg fortelle dem sannheten. Jeg skal fortelle dem hva jeg har kommet for å gjøre. Jeg har tenkt å være på Heathrow Airport helt til jeg ser noen jeg kjenner. (...)
Jeg venter i trettini minutter, og er overrasket over å ikke se en eneste person jeg kjenner. Ikke en eneste en. Og ingen kjenner meg heller. Jeg er like anonym som sjåførene som står der med sine standard navneskilt (noen etternavn kjenner jeg), bortsett fra at sjåførene er penere kledd. Etter at barna mine ble født ser alt jeg har på meg ut som om det var en pyjamas. Frakker, skjorter, T-skjorter, dongeribukser eller dresser; de ser ut som pyjamaser en har sovet i. (...)
Jeg hører meg selv tenke på alle menneskene jeg kjenner som har skuffet meg ved ikke å dra av gårde, tidlig en tirsdag morgen, til glamorøse europeiske destinasjoner. Mine tidligere kollegaer fra forsikringskontoret sitter nok fortsatt fastlåst bak skrivepultene sine, som jeg alltid sa de kom til å gjøre, da jeg selv var fastlåst der, og kastet bort tiden uten å kunne slå meg til ro. I mellomtiden kom Ally seg sakte og sikkert framover i livet. Hun fikk doktorgraden sin og sitt første universitetsstipendiat hos Reading University. Hennes første avansement.
Voksne venner vi har fått mer nylig, som har viktige jobber og som jeg derfor regner med å se hvert øyeblikk nå, sier til meg at å være hjemmeværende er et absolutt anstendig yrke for en mann; det er til og med tappert og maskulint å være hjemme med barna. Disse vennene er hovedsakelig Allys venner. Det virker som om jeg ikke kjenner noen lenger, og med barna og flyene over hodet ute av tankene, hører jeg meg selv tenke. Jeg hører tankene til en sutrekopp. Dette var ikke det jeg hadde håpet å høre.
Jeg begynner å gråte, ikke med grimaser eller hulking, men kun med store stille tårer som ruller nedover kinnene mine. Jeg ønsker ikke at noen jeg kjenner skal se at jeg gråter, fordi jeg er ikke en person som bryter sammen på Heathrow Airport en ubetydelig tirsdag morgen. Jeg administrerer huset vårt ulastelig, som et foretak. Det er en viktig jobb. Jeg har regneark for å overvåke innholdet i støvsugerposen, og fargekodete utskrifter om de etiske konsekvensene av bleier. Jeg er ikke meg selv denne morgenen. Jeg vet ikke hvem jeg er.
Use a writer that's based in Norway, with experience since 1999, when entering the Norwegian market.
I am a Norwegian marketing and legal translator. Legal translation only in the combination English to Norwegian.
I work as a proofreader and reviewer, with experience translating legal, technical and marketing related texts. I also have a lot of experience translating, lokalising and testing software.
In 2012 I worked as a transcreator creating the tagline into Norwegian for Esso's large fuel campaign in Norway. This was a part of a global campaign with ads on TV, radio, print and on site advertising.
A BA in Export Marketing from South Banks University in London as a part of the Norwegian School of Marketing's Diploma Export Degree gives me the marketing background that's crucial when entering the Norwegian market. I have carried out work for several large end clients such as: Netflix (I worked directly for Netflix), HP, HTC, Brother, LG, Nokia, Mazda, Lotus, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, Esso and Skype.
A 15 ECT course in legal translation from NHH (master level) carried out in 2022 and 2023 gives me the background for carrying out legal translations from English to Norwegian.
Software: SDL Trados Studio 2022 plus along with MS Office and Adobe. And experience working with MemoQ, Smartling, Crowdin, Lokalise and Memsource.
