Hello and welcome!

My name is Evangelos Drakou and I am the founder and director of "Found in Translation Ltd" also trading as "Drakou Translations".

 

I am a professional translator and interpreter with an academic background in the field of Translation Studies, English Language and Literature, and Linguistics. My working languages are Greek and English. I am bilingual with native fluency in Greek and English.

 

I have been fortunate enough to have lived in Greece, China and the UK so I have developed a strong connection and understanding of the British and Greek languages and cultures which is very important for my job as a translator. 

 

I have been providing services as a freelance translator and interpreter for over 10 years. I am commited to CPD and I always update my knowledge and expertise by attending webinars, seminars, conferences and events that are relevant to the translation field. 

I am registered with the Greek Consulate in London as an official translator and interpreter. I am a Chartered Linguist (Translator), a member (MCIL) of the Chartered Institute of Linguists and a full member of the Panhellenic Association of Translators (PAT).
