I have been working as a translator since 1983.

I am available for work Full week, Monday through Friday.

I have been engaging in software globalization since 2003. Software globalization, simply put, is to convert the software interface from one language to another, but in fact there are lot more to do. This work is not a pure translation, and in fact, translation accounts for only a smaller work load (possibly less than 1/4 of the total). The majority of work is focused on the analysis of the software, the editing of various resources, incl. images,audio, video materials and other media. One has to understand many IT technologies outside the language skills, incl. file analysis, hex code editing, transformation, font change, image and media treatment, testing, patching, encrypting.decrypting, compression/decompression (packing/unpacking), disassembling (cracking) etc.

Apart from software globalization, I am of course also involved in the globalization of other IT/Web related technologies, applications, systems and tools, incl. websites, databases, multimedia etc, as well as the configuration and maintenance of the globalization systems, environments and platforms for enterprises, professionals and private clients.

Apart from IT technologies, I am also skilled at several languages - Chinese, English, German, French, Russian, Esperanto, Greek, Latin and Hebrew according to their levels of proficiency.

And finally I am an amateur mathematician as well, with current focus on graph theory, initially intended to apply it to VLSI design. Before math, I was also involved in research of several important topics such as cryptography, fluiddynamics, thermodynamics and solar physics, to name a few.
