"Proficiency in two languages is important but does not necessarily guarantee translation competence".
I do.

I am Bartosz Orlik, an established and vetted English-to-Polish legal translator.

I help businesses succeed by providing linguistically consistent, competent, and
culturally adapted translations of their most important documents – the ones required by law.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PROJECT

I first discovered my passion for helping people with foreign languages back in 1996, when I got my first, one-off translation job.

I first moved to the UK in 2002. Having passed the Certificate of Proficiency in English in 2003, I regularly found myself being approached by individuals and organisations for my help and linguistic expertise. Since then I have consistently improved my language skills, and in 2007 I officially became a professional interpreter (DPSI, English Law).

In 2015 I was awarded the Chartered Institute of Linguists’ Diploma in Translation, and my professional career has since focused mainly on providing translations for business, law, the social sciences and the military sector.

The best translator amongst handballers.

Translations require military-like discipline and enormous attention to detail.
Interpreting means sharp focus, emotional detachment, and resilience to stress.
I should know – I have been doing it for over 15 years, including the most serious and mentally draining court proceedings, e.g. murder and sexual offences.

Nature and physical activity help me to clear my mind and stay focused. I enjoy expanding my comfort zone and taking on new sport challenges. A good work-life balance means I have the mental clarity to provide you with efficient and high quality service.
