Bio
Christian is a former Swedish diplomat, media expert, communicator, lecturer, and analyst. He has lived in nine countries and is fluent in several languages.
Since 2023, Christian has used his language skills, professional experience, and cultural awareness to offer translation services.
His wide expertise allows him to translate across a variety of fields and issues, including marketing and advertising, the automotive industry, renewable energy, and even gaming.
Christian excels when he gets up close and personal with complex linguistic issues, and he has an especially strong eye for detail.
His work as a translator is defined and driven by the famous quote by Günter Grass: "Translation is that which transforms everything so that nothing changes."
When not immersed in the intricacies of translating, Christian enjoys working on graphic design projects, going to the gym, and playing the occasional round of golf.
Christian lives in Portugal with his daughter and two cats.
“Christian will translate your book into Swedish
in a way that will make people want to read it. ”
