Is Constance Abidemi-Voigt a real translator

No. She is invented for this page, and so is Steinwerder Legal Services. The figures show a shape and describe nobody's practice.

How should freelance work be listed

As a role, with the volume and the client count. Self-employed with 900 000 words a year for fourteen regular clients is a business, and it should be described like one.

Is a deadline record worth stating

It is the strongest line a translator has. Six hundred and twenty projects with two missed deadlines is a statement about reliability that a project manager can check with one reference call.

What did the checker score it

97 out of 100, with one improvement remaining worth 8 points. The document has 187 readable words, and the volume rule's top band opens at 250.

Where do the language levels go

In their own languages section with levels, not in a skills row. The example carries German, English and Dutch with levels, and the reader keeps them as their own section.

Which design is this rendered in

Slim, one of the 37 layouts and not one of the 21 marked ATS-safe. Agencies usually read a translator's page directly; for an institution with a portal, choose an ATS-safe layout.

The translator example résumé drawn as a complete page in the Slim design: name, summary, the roles with their bullet lines, education and a skills row — The example below, drawn by the builder's own renderer in the Slim design. The picture was taken by pressing this page's own Use this example door and photographing what the editor rendered.

Translation is sold on a sample and bought on reliability, and a translator's page is where reliability has to be visible. This example is written out in full so you can read one, then put through the tools here so you can see what a parser stores. The candidate is invented. Constance Abidemi-Voigt does not exist, the in-house employer does not exist, and every figure was chosen to demonstrate a shape.

Words, clients, deadlines

Nine hundred thousand words a year for fourteen regular clients. Six hundred and twenty projects over five years with two missed deadlines. Forty contracts a month under a forty-eight hour turnaround. Those three lines tell an agency everything it needs before reading a sample.

Naming the two missed deadlines is what makes the record credible. A perfect claim invites doubt; a near-perfect one with the exceptions counted invites a conversation.

Terminology is the professional differentiator

Termbases of 8 000 entries for three clients, with review time down 28%. Twelve hundred legal terms standardised across four practice areas. Terminology work is what separates a translator a client keeps from one they use once, and it is the part almost nobody puts on a page.

Revision work belongs there too: 200 000 words a year of other translators' output reviewed. Being trusted to correct other people is the clearest seniority signal in the profession.

What the reading found

The door on this page hands the document to the résumé builder as plain text, through the same import an uploaded file goes through, and the review shows each field beside the line it came from. Here the completeness pass found four readable sections, 101 words of experience evidence and ten distinct skills, with three languages kept in their own section and the sworn status kept as a certification.

The Conxfolio import review after the door opened, showing Constance Abidemi-Voigt's example read into fields beside the rendered page, with the line saying it is an example — The real import review, opened by this page's own door. It names Constance Abidemi-Voigt as invented before anything is saved, and it shows every field beside the line it came from.

No language model is involved at any point, which is worth stating plainly on a page about translation. The readers are deterministic and nothing on your document is rewritten.

What the checker scored it

The same import review on a 390 pixel phone screen, with the example notice above the accept button — The same door on a phone. Nothing is withheld on the small screen: the notice, the reading and the accept button are all there.

Ninety-seven out of 100, with one improvement remaining worth 8 points. The arithmetic is 100 × 30% + 100 × 30% + 92 × 40% = 97, explained in the article on the score. Seven action-led lines, three of them measurable, seven lines of depth, and 187 readable words against a band opening at 250.

Words are not a unit the evidence rule reads, so the word-volume lines register as achievements without measurable evidence and the percentage, the client count and the project count carry the rule. The ATS checker prints which lines it counted, so the page can be written for both readers.

What this example leaves off

No client names, no document titles and no sample passages. Confidentiality is most of the value a legal translator offers, and an agency reads a page that names clients as a page that will name them next year.

Rates are left off as well. A rate is a negotiation, it belongs in the email rather than on the page, and quoting one on a résumé anchors a conversation before the work has been described.

What to change for your own

Change the pair and the field. Literary, medical, patent, subtitling and localisation work all use this shape with different units and different tools. Then put in your own volumes, client counts, deadline record and terminology work.

Keep the language levels in their own section; the guide on languages covers the levels to use. The design gallery holds 37 layouts, and the copywriter example, the teaching assistant example and the librarian example sit beside this one.

Write yours beside it
