Brenda Tunzi Translations

If you need a translation to reflect the authenticity of the content and in complete discretion, even without your target audience noticing they’re dealing with a translation, then you are in the right place. This is exactly what I aim to do.

My approach is fully aimed at delivering the best result. I consider a translation a success if it is geared to the target audience with full clarity and reflecting the original entirely. Years of experience as a legal translator has made me understand that slight deviations can have disastrous consequences.

Expertise in legal, HR, e-learnings, surveys and health

In 2000, I started my career as an in-house translator Dutch to English at Schaap Advocaten Notarissen, a reputable law firm in Rotterdam, working for all fields of civil law, particularly business law and employment law (9 years).

I also worked as an all-round in-house translator English to Dutch for a translation agency. I particularly enjoyed translating e-learnings, surveys and documents relating to health and medical products.

Since 2019, I have been self-employed, specializing in employment law, e-learnings, surveys and health. I have also been officially sworn in as a translator by the court. Is there anything I can help you with?  

My routine

I offer the option to set up a designated translation and terminology database for you, growing bigger by every subsequent translation. This results in translations meeting your requirements and without any inconsistency.

When will your translation be ready?

Understandably, you would like to know how fast your document(s) can be translated. I can’t make an exact prediction but I can give an indication: I globally translate around 2,000 words a day. Whether this is feasible depends on a number of factors, including my schedule.

Reviewer

To ensure extra quality, I offer the option to have my translation validated by a regular experienced colleague sharing the same standard of quality. My colleague will, of course, be bound by privacy conditions similar to the ones I maintain.

I always feel a great deal of involvement and responsibility for work entrusted in me. I occasionally notice issues in source texts, e.g. “employer” where, obviously, “employee” was intended. Should I find irregularities or inconsistencies in your document(s), I will definitively notify you.

If your documents contain terms which are specific for your jurisdiction, I will add a footnote with an explanation for the target audience.

Sworn translator

A sworn translator has the power to issue certified translations. This may be required for the translation of official documents such as diplomas, passports, medical certificates, instruments of the civil registry. All sworn translators have taken an oath or made a solemn affirmation before a court and are listed in the official register of sworn translators and interpreters (Rbtv). My registration number is Wbtv number 2502. Please note that the court can also issue an apostille for my signature, which is sometimes required for sworn translations to be used abroad.

Professional knowledge

I meet the statutory requirements and have all certificates necessary to do my job properly. I keep my knowledge up to date by taking relevant courses every year. This is necessary to maintain my statutory registration as a sworn translator but I also find them very interesting and fun to do.

Privacy guaranteed

As a translator I am obviously used to handling confidential information. I also comply with the requirements under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
