As my translation business, I work together in partnership with other freelance translators.


Note for translators: I never make use of any CV from translators at all. What I do (the actual way I do my translation business so far) is to save their CVs in my computer for my private use only for me to check the specialization and language pairs of each of my translators to match them with my customer's project to see which ones are suitable to work on the project.

Note for outsourcers: I submit my own CV to show my translation experiences as translator. If you need an Indonesian translator to translate your text from English to Indonesian, Indonesian to English, Chinese to Indonesian, and Chinese to English, you can email me to state your request for my CV and I will email it to you immediately, or you can download it from my website on http://HerichTranslations.webs.com . For the updated one, you can email me.
