| Angela Arnone (Italia) | | | Bio: Angela Arnone, a British native now resident in Italy, ProZ.com moderator for the Italian-English SC (and English Mono and Getting Established too!). I was a part-time translator for many years but I’m now on the graveyard shift for several Italian publishers to make up for lost time. My first paid job was a guidebook - without proper dictionaries, no internet and no spellchecker. Luckily it was for the town where I live so I got away with it … but it was a lesson well-learned. The money from the job got me the best dictionary around … and the experience taught me how tough this sort of translation can be.

| Astrid Elke Johnson (Germania), AEJohnson Translation Services (Specialist intellectual property translator) | | | Bio: I have a background in the legal field, among other things having been employed for over 6 years by a firm of lawyers involved in intellectual property.
Due to the nature of the translations which I undertake, which have to be extremely accurate, quality assurance is a very important issue for me and I have had to develop the most stringent quality assurance procedures possible. Many of the translations that I undertake in Court cases make reference to translations, and cases are even contested, for example, on the basis of an erroneous translation of the other party. Therefore, I am constantly involved in this issue.
I hope that, in outlining and explaining my quality assurance procedures, which have served me well to date, I will be able to assist others in tackling this issue, at all levels.

| Ralf Lemster (Germania), RLFT GmbH | | | Bio: Multi-disciplined experience turned into profession
Ten years of investment banking experience with Dresdner Bank AG - with a focus on trading and sales of a variety of interest rate, FX and equity products - have formed the solid foundations for my experience in the financial markets.
Four years based in London gave rise to the opportunity to pursue an interesting and very exciting second career. In 1994 I began to do specialist translations related to the financial markets. Clients became more and more interested. I chose translation as my future profession.
I have been fully independent as a translator since 1997, having passed the state examination for English in the same year. I am a sworn translator (ermächtigter Übersetzer) and thus able to certify the correctness and completeness of translations. The permanent contact to the markets is assured thanks to my parallel activities as a functional trainer for electronic exchange platforms.
I serve as a ProZ.com moderator, covering Jobs and the BlueBoard, as well as various forums (Money Matters, SDL Trados Support, German forum).
