6. Examples?
We are
currently translating the 1,600,000 word Historia Norvegica (History of Norway) by Torfaeus into English for a
Norwegian academic foundation and have just translated the 35,000 word Lun
Yu of Confucius into Latin for the Confucius Publishing Company of Hong Kong, both for publication on the web. We are
working on a Latin dialogue text and sound files for a History Channel
documentary on Boudicca. I recently translated an early scientific work by
Lister, dealing with the chemical content of mineral springs. By contrast,
I have also just emailed a two word phrase to Virginia destined to become a tattoo!
7. Extras
We
can supply sound files in .mp3 format for a small extra charge, with
Quintus reading your translation in
an authentic Roman accent.
