Jul 24, 2020 (posted via ProZ.com):  I hope business is picking up slowly. Recently, I’ve completed translation of vast medical documentation, online hiring programme for a giant company, clinical trial agreement for a pharmaceutical company and a corporate website (Polish/English and English/Polish).

Bio

Michał (Michael) Mleczko


For over 17 years I have been creating marketing and culture-sensitive content for various brands in the Polish and international markets, as well as translating and proofreading literary and technical texts in all combinations of Polish, English and Spanish.

I consider myself tri-lingual: a native speaker of Polish and English who spent 9 years in Ireland, with mastery of Spanish and advanced grasp of Portuguese. Languages are my passion. 

I have essential knowledge on various topics. Doing translations, I benefit from my wide professional experience: my time as a marketing manager and strategy & analysis manager, my international trade experience (I've translated numerous technical specifications of machinery - machine tools, vertical lathes - from Polish to English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian), multi-sectorial professional experience, and knowledge of EU affairs. In 2004, I passed the EPSO examinations to work for the EU institutions. 

I am a regular reviewer for PRA Clinical Trial Agreements (English - Polish) and translator/reviewer of marketing slogans, taglines, meta descriptions and teasers for several brands (English - Polish).

Some of my end clients include: 

Lafarge, Saint George International Poland, Saint-Gobain Glass Poland, Cracow University of Economics, University of Silesia in Katowice, Ministry of Infrastructure - Road Transport Department, Malbork Teutonic Knights Castle Museum (Poland), Air Liquide Poland, Amazon.com, British American Tobacco, Santium, Stalexport S.A., Kontakt-Simon S.A., Nemak Poland, PESA Bydgoszcz S.A., INELO, Hobas System Poland, Insta Polska Sp. z o.o., A&E Consult Sp. z o.o., Eickhoff Polonia Ltd., Prymat Sp. z o.o., AQUA S.A., Chauvin Ankerpharm GmbH, Chłodnie Kominowe S.A., Huta Stali Częstochowa Sp. z o.o., Bipromet S.A. Polskie Sieci Elektroenergetyczne - POŁUDNIE Sp. z o.o., Hotele Warszawskie Sp. z o.o., MIĘDZYNARODOWE TARGI KATOWICKIE SP. Z O.O., Rafamet S.A., Solid Security Sp. z o.o., and many others…  

Combining my all-round linguistic competences with writing skills, multicultural experience and creativity, I’ve translated some pieces of literature, such as 25 mini-retirements –a medley of autobiography, travel book and guide to better living by Polish bestselling author J.B. Bączek, Stageman, 2017; Under the protection of the Almighty - an autobiography by pastor Tadeusz Przychodzki, Znaki Czasu 2019; as well as famous museum collections of the Teutonic Knights Castle at Malbork, Poland.

I have a minor private literary portfolio myself, and I wish to further explore the adventures in translating works of literature, in particular, in English to Polish and viceversa.

Why work with me? Because I enjoy what I do, and so - I excel.



My strengths are:


  • 17 years' experience as full-time translator (many thousands of pages translated).
  • TOP quality of work and accuracy of translations; timely delivery and full reliability.
  • I am your safe bet when project deadline is awkward - working around the clock (also weekends, night time), and being readily available (I check my email several times a day).
  • Guaranteed efficiency (over 15 pages of translation per day, and up to 4 pages of standard text - rough work - per hour).
  • Use of CAT tools (Memsource, OmegaT, on-line dictionaries & glossaries).
  • I do proofreading of my own translations (analyzing them from all angles, for accuracy, style and spelling, so you save your time and money on extra proofreading).
  • Language flair, evidenced in translated works of literature (books, poetry).
  • A myriad of satisfied clients: translation agencies, public institutions, corporations, universities, one of the Polish ministries and individuals. Available references from Polish, Irish, American and Slovak translation agencies.
