Pleased to help you navigate through intercultural communication and cobbled streets of my hometown.
In English, French and Czech.
Nice to meet you.

Forget all the dates and figures.
History is full of stories.

When I was little, Prague held a spell over me. I loved its cobbled streets and breathtaking views. Since then, I've loved passing on the charm of the 'Mother of Cities'.

Translations

A quality translation that faithfully conveys your message, including tone, detail and technical terminology.

I work from English and French into my mother tongue, Czech, and back again.

I translate a wide range of texts, from educational material to presentations and documents for meetings. Of course, I also work with native French and English speakers to consult them on any critical details if needed or required. I also create film subtitles and voice-overs.

I mainly work in the following areas:

  • editorial translation, communications, press

  • culture, art, architecture, history, design, marketing

  • business correspondence

  • teaching, human and social sciences, international business

  • nature and environment, agri-food sector, gardening

  • tourism, gastronomy, cosmetics, textiles, sport and leisure

  • watchmaking, applications and software, technology...

Guided tours

I offer guided walks in French, English, and Czech for individuals or small groups.

As a freelance tour guide since 2012, I offer a range of classic must-see itineraries & tailor-made tours. I accompany journalists on press trips .

For event organizers, I can also design tailored tours in Prague for guest speakers and VIPs or even enchant their program with a spark of Prague magic. I may not be a Hogwarts graduate, but give me a chance and you will see what a magical experience we can create for your guests together.

I look forward to being your...

I had the privilege of working with:

Testimonies

  • "Always ready to 101% and a smile! We praise Katerina for her reliability and attitude."

    Alena Brozova, project manager; TANEC PRAHA International Dance Festival

  • "Easy and smooth-running cooperation. Katerina met all the deadlines we had agreed upon. I particularly appreciate a highly proactive attitude, independent and accurate work as well as the command of the topic, which allowed us to receive ample and maximally appropriate translation of the specialised terminology."

    Tamara Kovacova, project coordinator; EduIn

  • "Katerina has proven so professional and organised that we will be happy to work with her in the future."

    Jiri Hasil, director; Summer School of Slavonic Studies, Charles University

  • “I have been working with Katerina Vorlicka for more than ten years. As a tour guide, she shows the clients of our agency around Prague in Czech, English and French. Katerina belongs to the most reliable and competent members of my team. Besides numerous regular itineraries, she has proven to be a very versatile tour guide who is able to accompany our clients on various bespoke walks. Katerina is a loyal people person, a good timekeeper with attention to detail. I particularly appreciate her cordial attitude to the clients. Katerina helps with the translations for the company and attends various meetings with our foreign business partners as an interpreter. She is an indispensable member of our team and I am pleased to recommend her services.”
    Eva Hotovcova, travel agency CEO

  • “On November 16, 2018 I participated in a Czech language seminar on Note-taking in Consecutive Interpreting organised by the Czech Union of Interpreters and Translators JTP . It was a three-hour technical seminar for students, interpreters and members of the public, given in Czech language. I am a native English speaker with almost no Czech language comprehension skills. Ms Katerina Vorlicka, alongside another young colleague of hers, were simultaneously interpreting for me (whispering interpreting) during the whole seminar. I highly appreciated her interpreting services, which allowed me to perfectly understand the seminar with all its technical aspects and nuances. Based on my own technical understanding and interest in the art of note-taking (the seminar’s subject), the interpreting was accurate, pleasant to receive and easy to follow. Furthermore, Katerina’s attitude was very professional, and she worked well in tandem with her colleague, maintaining good change-over communications at every 20-minute mark, without interrupting my comprehension flow. I would have no hesitation in recommending her professional interpreting services.”

    Chris Curnow


  • “We have been working with Katerina Vorlicka since 2016. She has been our interpreter and translator between Czech and French for various exchanges and visits we organised with our sister town of Beautor, France. Katerina‘s first mission was a five-day interpreting when we received the delegation of our French partners in Prague. She takes care of our correspondence, too. We appreciate her professionalism, helpfulness and reliability. We are, therefore, pleased to pursue further cooperation with Katerina and to be able to recommend her.”

    Oldrich Miffek, director; Friends of Beautor Association

  • “We would like to express our utmost satisfaction with the work of interpreters Katerina Vorlicka and Kristyna Chvojkova. Thanks to their perfect cooperation and professional approach, our book launch went smoothly. We contacted them just a few days before the event, and despite the short time, they prepared very carefully and helped us with the technical arrangement of the hybrid event. They went over and tested everything with us beforehand. We are very grateful not only for their excellent work, but also for their kind and friendly approach. We recommend both interpreters to anyone looking for reliable and professional services.”
    Jiri Mahler, editor
