Daniel Sjölander
Swedish translator with a strong passion for languages and communication.
I help businesses to grow and expand across the Swedish market,
by ensuring that your brand's message is conveyed in a natural and appealing way.
Company bio
I started my translation company in 2016 after completing a bachelor's degree in Japanese studies at Stockholm University. Prior to that, I studied abroad for 5 years in Japan, where I finished a college education in translation and interpretation.
My curiosity about foreign cultures and keen interest in linguistics give me the motivation, edge and skill that I need in my profession. I always make sure to produce texts with a natural flow, correct terminology and a suitable tone of voice based on the given target audience. At the same time, I focus on carrying across the source content and its unique style into the Swedish translation, without losing any nuances in the process.
My specialisations are tourism & travel, EU affairs and marketing.
In 2018 I did an internship as a bluebook trainee at the
Directorate-General for Translation in Luxembourg, which deepened my knowledge about international diplomacy, law-related texts and how the European Union works in general. I also have experience working as a tourist host in Stockholm and Nyköping for a few years.
My language pairs:
English → Swedish
Japanese → Swedish
Danish → Swedish
Norwegian → Swedish
German → Swedish
Examples of previous translation assignments:
- EU documents regarding e.g. regulations, directives, initiatives, press releases, trade and procurement
- Travel guides, points of interest and user interface for Expedia & hotels.com, Hurtigruten and Trivago
- Product marketing for e.g. Björn Borg, Levi's, Nike, Hugo Boss, Fjällräven, Salomon and Ray-Ban
- Web content for a Japanese language school's homepage
- Transcription of a Sports interview from the 2012 Summer Olympics in London
- Subtitling parts of TV-series
- Technical manuals for German automobile manufacturers such as Daimler and BMW
