SkillsTranslation
I am a capable translator in many topics. To add to my native Finnish, I have 10 years of English education. I can do translations in various topics as I have good common knowledge on many subjects
Transcreating
I have good writing skills in my native language, and also in English.
Those skills enable me to rewrite a text in the other language (transcreate).
Basic writing
I can also write simple texts like descriptions and similar
in both of my languages. Also can do SEO texts.

Aleksi Lehtomäki+
[1]This means that I'm allowed to do proofreading projects for them. This requires spotless history with projects, and very high quality translations.
[2]Bronze level translator comes from my time with the company (not too long), but still my advancement within their system is rather quick.
[3]Expert translator means I'm allowed to work on higher tier of translations like legal/financial translations. This is also merit based, and requires quite a lot of succesfull small samples on the matter.
