Petra is an excellent translator! She is very accurate, meets the deadlines and works quickly when needed. What\u2019s more, she does not just simply translate, she checks names and dates thoroughly.

Petra is an excellent communicator, and she fulfills all commitments to the letter. Her texts are easy to read, and do not appear to be translations at all, a very important element in literary translations.

Working with Petra was a joy, an enriching experience, and a blessing:
\nIt was a joy because she is always both friendly and professional; It was enriching because she encouraged me to keep thinking: she stayed true to the source text, and ensured a flawless translation into Dutch, but her questions made me reconsider my own use of language, rethinking what the author really meant when he said certain things; It was a blessing because it soon became apparent that Petra was a true guardian of the translation from French into Dutch. We never worried about any mistakes, mistranslations or erroneous interpretations that might have severe consequences. This was very important, since the story and the text were of an extremely sensitive nature: the book containing the testimony of Bernard Wesphael, accused of murder.
\nAnd finally, Petra also showed professional discretion, an essential part of the cooperation between translator and publisher.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

The 'will' here in English is not actually future tense (it is future in construction and in the sense, of course, but it's not\u00a0...). It is sort of a general reference to what the doctor calls \u00a0something\u00a0... which would be rendered in the present tense in Dutch - you picked up on this, \u00a0where very few Dutch translators would. So good job with the stylistic changes.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

For your information: I have asked a colleague translator (with many years experience) to read the text you have translated. He was convinced it was not a translation, but an original Dutch text.
