Bio
Proofreading or QM
Sometimes Law students are taken aback ("Wow!") by the redshift in their graduate theses, which they thought were pretty flawless to begin with when they handed them over to me. The good news is: things are often not as bad as they seem at first glance. Apart from my correction of obvious errors, as an optional(!) extra service I put in many improvements with a take-it-or-leave-it label attached. In other words, suggestions can be accepted (or ignored) at will.

Translation
Translating a text is a piece of cake - you may find any freelancer serves that purpose. However, making the target language absolutely flawless is a whole different ball game. I base this statement on a brief glance at the landing pages on the world wide web.
I translate English, Portuguese, German, French content into immaculate Dutch or Frisian.

Who is Jaap "Eagle Eye" Slager
I am a Dutchman from Frisia, a former general manager in the energy industry, and I guess I was born with this passion for language. Having been raised bilingually I had a classical education including Latin, Greek, and Gothic, and I studied Dutch Grammar & Syntax at Groningen State University in the Netherlands.
It took me almost 20 years in managerial and consultancy jobs to find out what my real passion in life is - language.
