Welcome to my website!
My name is Yavor Dimitrov. I am a fluent English and native Bulgarian speaker, a professional linguist and a full-time certified (sworn) freelance translator dedicated to language and translation, holding an MA degree in English Studies with a specialization in Theory of Translation, living and working in Bulgaria and teleworking for clients in Europe, Canada, and the United States, providing high-quality translation and editing services at very competitive rates, and devoting meticulous attention to detail while working on each project. I have a proven track record of always delivering even the most challenging projects on time.
I also have nineteen years' experience as a freelance translator from/into English, including a four-year position as an in-house translator. From 2003 to 2004, after having settled down in Ottawa, ON, I had the unique opportunity to work for the Canadian Federal Government as a Program Support Officer at Natural Resources Canada, Office of Energy Efficiency, where I gained detailed knowledge of renewable energy sources, particularly sunlight, wind, and geothermal heat.
While my current focus in translation is EU Affairs, I have had extensive experience with many different types of translations. I specialize in fields such as Cinema/Film/TV/Drama (Samples of some of my translations for subtitling, voice-over, and lip-syncing), Clinical Trials and Clinical Interviews (Psychiatry), Environment & Ecology, Government/Politics, Poetry & Literature, Tourism and Travel.
Working Fields
Advertising, Business/Commerce, Certificates/Diplomas/Licenses/CV’s, Computers (General), Education/Pedagogy, Finance (General), History, Law (General), Linguistics, Marketing, Media/Multimedia, Medical (General), Software Training Videos/Video Tutorials
I am a published poet. I won a second place award in the 2002 Bulgaria National Haiku Contest held by the Literature Club e-zine, and in 1997, I received a Certificate of Honorable Mention in recognition of literary excellence granted by the National Authors Registry, USA. I am also a published translator. To view some of my translations, please go to My Publications.
In my work I rely on a wide network of language experts and colleagues who can assist me with specialized terminology and proofing, when necessary.
