Hi there, I'm Tuulikki!

Finnish translator creating natural, easy to read copy

Are you looking for a Finnish translator whose translations read like originally written in Finnish? A copy that communicates the same message with your tone of voice? A text that’s easy to read, makes sense and sounds good? You’re at the right place!

For me, it’s important to fully understand the underlying intention of the text. I translate meanings, not words. The purpose of your text determines how it should be translated and what it needs.

Who I am

My name is Tuulikki Olkkonen, and I’m a native Finnish translator living in Finland.

I have a degree in translation studies from the University of Tampere, Finland. Languages were always my thing and before my studies, I lived a while abroad.

Besides languages, I’ve always been keen on business. That’s why I also studied marketing and international business at the university.

In 2005 I found my very own translation business Translation Service Opale.

After over 15 years in business and with two children, who are already grownups now, I’m still excited about every new project. I’m full of energy when I can unleash my creativity and dive into a new text.

As the world never stops changing, I’m curious to learn something new every day. Recently I’ve taken courses on digital marketing, search engine optimisation and content writing. By further educating myself constantly, I want to offer my customers the best service I can.
