ABOUT ME
Hi, nice to meet you! My name is Dot Roberts and I am a native English freelance translator and subtitler based in Manchester, UK. I am creative, adaptable and always up for a challenge. Ethics and sustainability are important to me and I strive to honour these values in all areas of my life.
I create English subtitles (plain and for the deaf or hard-of-hearing) and translate from German and Dutch into English. Since January 2019, I have been subtitling TV shows and other audiovisual content and translating articles, interviews, product descriptions and more.
In terms of qualifications, I have an MA in Translation Studies from the University of Manchester and a BA in German with Dutch from the University of Nottingham.
When I am not subtitling or translating, you'll find me sewing, baking, walking or doing yoga.
I would love to hear from you! Please get in touch below to find out how I can help you or your company or to meet for a cuppa.
