Selection of Testimonials:

Joost L. (2002)

"Mr. Neilan once corrected my application for a job in Australia. This, of course, was not just "correcting" because there is a whole set of unwritten rules to be followed for such a letter. On top of that, it had to be adjusted into other cultural values that are hidden in the use of language as well. He did such a good job on this localization that, in the end, I got hired!"

Eitmann Publishing House:

"Mr. Neilan translated the website www.passivesmoking.org from German into English (ca. 130 pages). Furthermore, he translated internal texts for the publishing house as were required.

We would like to express our gratitude for the work and most of all that Mr. Neilan reliably and successfully completed the translation." Frank W ckel

Jeffrey Ching (Composer):

"Thank you very much for your excellent translation [...]I will certainly get in touch with you if I need to work on another German text."
