CHRIS OATES

Trustworthy Translation

I strive to provide nuanced and precise translation from Thai into English. In the digital world where you're never sure who you're hiring, my clients appreciate putting their important documents in the hands of someone they can trust.

 

Unlike other more common language combinations, a major issue in Thai-English translation is the dependence on non-native translators. However, foreign clients can easily tell when a non-native English speaker has produced a low quality product.

 

As a native speaker, I  am proud to provide translation into precise and idiomatic English, a skill valued in a market flooded by low quality service. If you have had issues with prior translation, please don't hesitate to contact me and I look forward to providing you with a better experience. 

 

Work

I receive a large variety of projects, both large and small, and I am always happy to issue a free quote. Prior work has included business correspondences, company financial statements, employee surveys, medical texts, magazine articles, interviews, official certificates of all kinds (birth, marriage, etc.), hospital receipts, basic legal documents and much more. My degree in Religious Studies from Brown University where I specialized in Buddhist studies greatly informs my cultural expertise as well.

 

Some clients have appreciated hearing about my prior projects. Here are a few examples:

 

Medical Work

A report on the installation of a Proton Therapy machine at Chulabhorn Hospital, Bangkok.

 

Magazine Articles

Dozens of articles for The Siam Magazine, a Phuket-based quarterly publication about Thai culture targeted towards foreigners.

 

Employee Surveys

Hundreds of survey responses from Thai employees working for a global ingredients solutions company.

 

Contracts

Employment contracts for Playboy, Inc.

 

Confidentiality and Professionalism

No documents or data regarding the client will be shared with a third-party or used for advertising purposes without explicit consent.

 

What are you waiting for?

Estimates are free. I respond to emails as soon as I am able, though please be understanding of differences in time zones. All pricing of services is based on a variety of factors and no work shall begin without express approval from the client. I look forward to hearing from you.
