Alison Field is a freelance technical translator, proofreader/reviewer and trainer. For many years, Alison worked for a translation agency based in Herefordshire. This is a company that has built its success firstly on the strength of a gifted, committed team, and secondly by never compromising on its watchword: quality. Alison loves nothing better than ‘playing’ with language, especially using computer software to do so. She happily spends hours troubleshooting others’ issues with CAT software, displaying all the tenacity of a Yorkshire terrier with a bone.
