About me
 

My name is Alicja Tokarska. I am a Polish-born translator who has lived and worked in Scotland since 2009. What are the key things you should know about me?

​

✔ I hold an MA Hons in Spanish and Comparative Literature and an MSc in Translation Studies.

✔ More than a decade spent in Scotland has made me a true linguistic and cultural expert.

✔ I completed a six-month translation traineeship at the European Parliament in Luxembourg , where I perfected my translation skills and used French every day.

✔ I spent one year in Barcelona, building fluency in Spanish and embracing another culture.

✔ Inclusiveness lies at the core of my business. I pride myself on creating inclusive and empathetic communication, so you won't find a one-size-fits-all approach in my texts.

✔ My extensive network of fellow translators means that I can help you with multilingual projects or refer you to a trusted colleague if needed. 

✔ I'm an Associate member (AITI) of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting (including a number of its language and subject networks), a Chartered Linguist (MCIL CL) and a member of Mediterranean Editors and Translators.

✔ I talk the talk and walk the walk: I'm a keen vegan cook, have hands-on experience behind a sewing machine, and try to make a point of living in a sustainable way.
