Professional Profile
I'm interested in the opportunity. I've been working as a freelance translator since 1983 when I was still in the first year of college and I have been working with international translation agencies for major international organizations on various projects, most of them are under non disclosure agreements. To know some of my works, particularly for books, just Google my name (Marcus Prihminto Widodo or Marcus P. Widodo) and you will find those books I have translated which have been published by major publishers and they are now available on the shelves of libraries.
Most international translation agencies pay me USD 0.10 (ten cents) per source word for translation and USD 0.05 per source word for proofreading. For jobs calculated on an hourly basis, most translation agencies pay me USD 15/hour.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you and to working on the projects with you.

Qualifications
My undergraduate formal training was in architecture and my post graduate training was in Business Administration. But my experience spans from being an editor in a magazine, an editor of the largest publishing company in Indonesia, a faculty member, a trainer, and a professional manager. My first experience in translation was in 1983 (more than twenty three years ago) when I was on my first year of college. Translation was how I earned my money to finance my formal study while I was also an editor of a small magazine in religious matters. After graduating from the university, I joined the largest publishing company where I was an editor for science books. There I started my experience in translating university text books. First I translated pure engineering books (for instance, ‘STEEL STRUCTURES, Design and Behavior, Emphasizing Load and Resistance Factor Design’, Third Edition, Charles G. Salmon & John E. Johnson, Harper – Collins, +1100 pp.), then management books (for instance, MULTINATIONAL BUSINESS FINANCE, Ninth Edition, David K Eiteman, Arthur I Stonehill, & Michael H. Moffet, Addison Wesley, +800 pages), followed with books in social sciences (for instance, ‘JAPAN’S ROLE IN ASIA, Lim Hua Sing, Times Academic Press, +400 pp.) and eventually almost in any subject. I changed my formal job from being an editor to being a faculty member in one of the most prestigious Indonesian universities (i.e., University of Indonesia), while I still continued my job as a freelance translator. After getting a scholarship to join a post graduate education in business administration, I joined an international training company (i.e., The Covey Leadership Center Indonesia), and later I joined an industrial machinery and equipment trading company where I was a manager representing high end products in oil and gas technologies. Even when I was in formal job, translation has always been my own personal business.
Now, most of my jobs are documents. They range from formal documents such as proposals, feasibility studies, environmental analysis reports, even dissertation of a doctor candidate, to the more informal ones such as keynote speech of a minister or a governor.
Skills
As you can see from the above description, at first I translated most materials in engineering / technical related subjects, then in management / business subjects, then in social sciences, and now almost in any subject. Perhaps because of my high school training, I am also very fond of translating inspirational materials, including religious subjects, because it is very rewarding not only for the money but for its enriching effect. But most of all, I enjoy reading things of any subject. That is why translating is almost not like a job for me, but it is like a game I enjoy most in addition to get paid for doing the thing I like most.
