Unparalleled technical accuracy

I’m a senior technical translator with more than 25 years of experience specializing in engineering, naval, military, automotive, and industrial documentation. My background in naval engineering gives me a practical understanding of the systems, machinery, and safety requirements behind the texts I translate — which means my work is not only linguistically accurate but technically sound.

Disciplined approach, dependable results

I’ve collaborated long-term with manufacturers, shipyards, engineering firms, and international agencies, delivering translations that technicians, engineers, and operators can rely on. My approach is disciplined, detail‑driven, and built around clear communication, consistent terminology, and dependable delivery. I work with industry‑standard tools such as Trados Studio and Transit NXT, maintain client‑specific termbases, and adapt to each organization’s preferred workflows.

Solving complex technical challenges

I particularly enjoy projects such as maintenance and service manuals, risk assessments, safety‑critical documentation, technical specifications, engineering reports, shipbuilding, machinery, industrial equipment documentation, and automotive manuals. These projects play to my strengths: complex systems, precise terminology, and texts where clarity genuinely matters. I ensure technical accuracy, maintain consistent terminology, make documentation clear and usable, and help clients avoid costly misunderstandings, especially in safety‑critical content.

"Accuracy isn't just a goal for me — it’s a responsibility."

Nicholas Fanelli, Technical Translator
