Elektor is a popular monthly magazine on electronics. It aims to inspire people to learn about electronics by presenting descriptions for building electronic equipment and by signalizing developments in electronics and technical informatics. It is published in Dutch, English, German and French. Elektor is sold in over 50 countries worldwide.

As a free-lance author/translator I make a substantial contribution almost every month to the Dutch edition by translating articles from German and English. My style of writing matches with the magazine very well, because I have been a subscriber for thirty years and I learned a lot from reading it. Nowadays many projects contain a significant software part.

My activities :

• Studying the source article;
• Understanding the workings of the projects from the schematics;
• Re-formulate this in Dutch in a way that matches the style of the magazine.
