My name is Αlban Shρata and I am a professional translator and a native speaker of Albanian. I provide professional translation and proofreading services between English, Albanian and Italian. Living in Albania helps me to be constantly in touch with the modern Albanian language. Besides, I work every day in an English speaking environment and Italian is a language I grew up with.

Whether you need to translate correspondence, contracts, websites, legal agreements, brochures and literature, manuals, essays, presentations, research papers or other documents, I have the necessary qualifications and extensive experience to provide the best solutions for your needs.

I am diligent in my work and I care about my clients. I have never been late with a deadline in my life and I would never present a translation unless I am completely sure it is consistent with my high standards.

Reliable, accurate and on time.

What is translation?
Translation is not simply looking up each word in a dictionary and finding its nearest equivalent in the other language. Rather, it is conveying and adapting the original document's unique ideas and style into the second language, thoroughly understanding both the languages and the cultures they are based in and using this to create a faithful and careful new version. A translator must have a high level of proficiency in both languages, excellent reading, writing, and editing skills, and a true feeling for the language.
