Dora Derado Giljanović performed the proofreading of an English-language academic book edited by me. Although the challenge was immense – the book contained texts by non-native-speaking authors from different countries and from a variety of academic traditions, Dora and her team managed brilliantly. Their thoroughness and commitment cannot be overstated. Dora dealt with each text with great insight, both from a linguistic and academic point of view. She caught many errors that would have escaped my attention! In addition, she kept up a pleasant correspondence with the authors, which helped to bring the whole six-month project to a happy conclusion. I would highly recommend working with Dora on proofreading, especially to anyone dealing with art and related subjects.

Strukovno udruženje likovnih umjetnika nekoliko je puta angažiralo Doru Derado na poslovima kuriranja izložbi i prevođenja stručnih tekstova te smo svaki put bili impresionirani radnom etikom ove svestrane profesionalke koja je u isto vrijeme kreativna i sistematična, efikasna i opuštena te detaljna i opsežna u svom pristupu poslu, bilo da se radi o velikim grupnim izložbama koje je koncipirala, žirirala i kurirala; samostalnim izložbama eminentnih autora ili mladih neafirmiranih autora; prijevodima kompleksnih tekstova i jednostavnih pedagoški osmišljenih informativnih materijala. Svakako se radi o suradniku za poželjeti.

As a foreigner, I had a complex immigration issue that required a translator. Dora met with me and took the time to fully understand my situation. When it came time to meet with the authorities, she wasn’t just a translator, she was also my advocate. She understands the local customs and culture and without her translating and assisting me through the process, I’m convinced things would have turned out badly for me. She is highly professional and personable. I was very lucky to have found her.

Given the short deadlines we had, I was very happy when Dora agreed to proofread a professional text in English in the field of smart cities. She did the proofreading thoroughly and very professionally, and with a few specific questions, she immediately detected what kind of result we wanted. In every interaction, she was quick to respond and pleasant to communicate with. She met all the deadlines, and we are very satisfied with the final result, considering that she significantly improved the quality of the text written by different authors. We will recommend Dora and work with her again in the future.

Preporučila bih svima usluge prevođenja obrta DLightful Services. Pored toga što je izvrsna i iskusna prevoditeljica, Dora Derado je izvorna govornica engleskog jezika i povjesničarka umjetnosti što je pridonijelo kvaliteti stručnog prijevoda teksta za potrebe disertacije s područja suvremene umjetnosti.

S Dorom Derado sam surađivala nekoliko mjeseci između 2019. i 2020. g. Njen angažman bio je u prevođenju preko stotinu stranica literarnog teksta na engleski. Moji kriteriji za prevođenje su bili prilično visoki i očekivalo se da prijevod teksta zvuči u duhu izvornog govornika engleskog jezika u čemu je Dora pokazala izuzetno znanje i fleksibilnost. Naša komunikacija bila je izvrsna i prijevod je obično bio prihvaćen nakon nekoliko iteracija i prolazaka kroz tekst. Dora je vrlo profesionalna i uvijek se držala dogovorenih rokova. Rad s njom bio je zadovoljstvo i vrlo je rado mogu preporučiti zbog njenog izvrsnog poznavanje engleskog jezika, orijentiranosti na detalje, profesionalnosti, fleksibilnosti i odlične komunikacije.
