high quality health care.”
I have translated a series
of information booklets and various application forms for
Australian Health Insurance Commission. Many of the NEW
downloadable pdf files in Russian available on www.hic.gov.au
are samples of my work, including the new Medicare Welcome
Kit. However, documents dated
2003 were translated by someone else.
In the past, someone had already
translated the materials, but it was obvious that several
different people worked on the translation as there was
no consistency in using terms and proper names in Russian
(I wonder what the project manager was doing...). I spotted
the problem right away and eliminated it in my work.
