BIO
Hi, I'm Gregory.
Born and raised in Upstate New York, I discovered my love of languages in secondary school, where I studied French and Latin. I went on to study at the American University in Washington, DC, and University College London before graduating with a BA in Eastern European Languages, Literature, and Culture from the University of Washington in 2014.
I then moved to Poland, where I completed CELTA training and worked for two years as a Business English teacher. Though I soon moved on from teaching, it was an invaluable experience from which I learned a great deal about language, culture, and communication.
EXPERIENCE
Since 2016, I have provided translation and revision services to a wide range of language service providers, law firms, and other clients from across the European Union and around the world, with a focus on legal, financial,and human resources documents, as well as academic materials in certain fields.
Over the past 6 years, I have translated well over 4 million words, including approximately 3 million words within my specialisations. I have also proofread, revised, and edited several thousand pages of documents.
Having been educated on both sides of the Atlantic, I am comfortable and experienced with both US and UK English. Furthermore, I count myself among the few Polish and Slovenian to English translators who are native English speakers.
I own and operate Gregory Chapman Language Services, a sole proprietorship registered in Poland. I issue VAT invoices in Euros and Polish Zloty.
For more on my professional experience, please see my CV. A list of selected academic works which I have translated is also presented below.
PRINCIPLES
I focus on providing translations that are fluent, natural, and localised in the target language without sacrificing accuracy.
I complete a thorough QA process for each job and put significant effort into proper formatting.
If I can’t provide an excellent product, I don’t accept the job.
I work quickly, offering realistic deadlines and sticking to them.
• Law (general, civil law, corporate law, privacy and intellectual property law, real estate law, contracts, legislation, court documents) • Administration (official correspondence, EU affairs, regulatory affairs, registration documents, certificates) • Finance (general, reports, accounting documents, balance sheets, audits, registration documents, prospectus) • Insurance (general, policies, assessment and adjustment documents, actuarial documents) • Business (general, correspondence, management, marketing, human resources, product descriptions, offer documentation) • Academic (history, economics, geography, linguistics, political science, social sciences)
I also accept projects in certain IT-related fields, as well as general interest texts.
