ENGLISH TO ITALIAN TRANSLATOR

Translating is a passion that my mother passed down to be: that's why I always wanted to pursue a career as translator!
BRIEF INTRODUCTION
My name is Paola Comeglio, I am italian and I'm a freelance translator (english to italian) since 1984.
I took a High School Degree (Liceo Scientifico) in my home town and afterwards I attended a two- year-course for translator/interpreter at the European School, and then I obtained the First Certificate in English (with grade A) at the British School of Milan. I improved my knowledge of English during frequent stays in U.S.A. where my brother used to live (Boston).

EXPERIENCE AND FIELDS
I was 22 years old when I started collaborating with italian publishing houses (such as Mondadori Editore and Garden Editoriale) as literary translator; my specialties were detective stories and romantic series.

In the same period I enlarged my working network by contacting some private companies and I offered them my FREELANCE translating/interpreting services; by means of these collaborations I improved my skills and technique especially in the chemical, mechanical and footwear field (the area where I live is well know worldwide for the shoes industry).

Afterwards I spent 25 years as IN-HOUSE translator/interpreter for some multinational companies as follows:
- 4 years experience with Daipers Spa – Pavia - field : manufacture of adult diapers machines- foreign department (interpreting and translations;specialties: tech/engineering, operating manuals, reports, technical papers, business, financial, banking, law and insurance documents).
- 4 years experience with John Brown Offshore Ltd – UK- Milanofiori base – during the Bouri Field Project – field: construction and launch of drilling platforms - bilingual secretary for the Project Manager and in-house documents translator for italian contractors.
- 3 years experience with Auva Computer Taiwan – Vigevano branch office - field: import, assembling and distribution of PC interpreter/translator for the commercial office.
- 14 years experience with CO-MET Pavia – field : construction of heaters, boilers, mixers, underground tanks, storage tanks, for refinery, chemical and food industry) assigned to the commercial and technical office for translations, interpreting, typing and order management.

My hobbies are : travels, sports (I play tennis and I like basketball), jazz music (I play the soprano sax for fun), movies and web.
I like reading books and newspapers, in English too, and I like to be updated about what happens all around the world.
