Collaborating and communicating with Laura was very easy, which is so important in the translation process. Laura is a professional, knowledgeable and responsive translator who is prepared to go above and beyond the initial agreement to ensure our partnership and the final translation is successful. I highly recommend Laura as a translator and collaborative partner.

Laura Adlers is a gifted translator. I recently reviewed her translation of a modern Latvian novel to English (Aldis Bukšs, “Brothers”) and was astonished how well she had expressed the author’s meaning and turn of phrase. (I speak Latvian and can vouch for the accuracy of her translation, although I am quite incapable of her artistry.) She is a wonderful writer. I worked as an editor of English-language books and articles for decades, and I do not think I ever encountered a manuscript that required as little revision of any sort as the translation I edited. I have read other translations she has done, and they are uniformly excellent.

Collaborating with Laura was easy and productive. I was most pleased with the quality of her work and her strong work ethic. She is characterized by her positivity, genuine interest in the work, professionalism, experience, flexibility and by her ability to find quick and high-quality solutions as part of the translation process. Communicating with Laura allowed me to view my original text through a new perspective – that of the translator. I appreciated the opportunity to work with a truly knowledgeable professional in the field.
