Having translated from Greek into English professionally for over 45 years, I cannot think of many subjects that I have not translated the texts of but the majority of the texts that I have translated relate to the following:

Details of the types of translations that I have been doing both recently and in the past are given under the Translation History tab.
Although I am capable of translating 3,000 words per day, I prefer not to exceed more than a maximum of 2,000 words per day, because I always like to leave time spare so as to be able handle any urgent requirements of regular customers who prefer that I do their translations for them.
For projects that exceed my daily translation capability, I cooperate with other British translators who I know and trust and, together, we are usually able to translate up to 10,000 words in 24 hours or up to 50,000 words per week.
The software I have includes: SDL Trados Studio Freelance 2019, Adobe Acrobat Professional XI, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, ABBYY Fine Reader Professional, Microsoft Powerpoint, Microsoft Publisher, Perfectit Pro 3 and ProWritingAid Pro.
