Shauna Laurel Jones
Icelandic-to-English translation
I have been translating from Icelandic since 2008, with clients including arts institutions, corporate and commercial enterprises, and scholars in assorted disciplines. Along with my multidisciplinary academic background, my extensive English-language copy editing experience means I am comfortable with a wide range of styles and topics. I am also equally versatile with translations into British or American English. Never satisfied until my clients are, I’m happy to review drafts with authors and keep fine-tuning until we get things right.
It’s always best to employ a native speaker of the target language – the language you are translating into – to translate your text (for this reason, I only translate into English). Similarly, if you want to convey not only the message of your Icelandic text in English, but also ensure an equivalent tone, correct syntax, and a polished flow, you are best served by a native English-speaker – and by an experienced writer and translator with a passion for words. Please be in touch to see if I can serve you.
