Good day
I have translated many books and have built up more experience in this type of work from English to Afrikaans. I still find time to read both Afrikaans and English Fiction books inbetween work and translating.
I have read many translated books in both Afrikaans and English and have, in most cases, felt that I could have done a better job translating the feeling that an author might have tried to create, but the translater was not always successful in my opinion.
I am doing the translating work as a second income in my spare time, and hence has to choose long working periods to ensure that I finish the books in time, all with the highest standard of work.
I genre preference is that of Fiction. I love suspence, action, drama and crime stories. Historic Romance, Medical Romance, Modern Romance and mostly Romance are also enjoyed. And don't forget about those Westerns.
Yours Sincere
Marlette

Author review: I have had the pleasure of working with Marlette Taljaard on a previous book in the Lone Jack Kid series. She translated this 2nd book to my satisfaction in a professional manner. She is now working on the 3rd book in the series. I recommend her highly as she is excellent in translating manuscripts into African. |

Marlette Taljaard (translator of the book) and Annemi Huygen (editor and proofreader of the book) are a great team in providing a well translated book. |
