About John Thelin

I'm passionate about language and communication, and I've primarily done translation work during the last decade or so. But I haven't left my other loves behind, I still write short stories, compose and record music, dabble in graphic design, do the occasional voice-over and even some game design on the side (tabletop ones, using cards, dice and other analog devices).This might all seem a bit scattershot, but there is definitely a red thread that runs through all I do; I love creating new worlds and telling stories. Besides, as Isaac Asimov said, "specialization is for insects".

    Subtitler/Translator

    Stockholm, Sweden
    I wanted to be a subtitler as early as 1986, but the market was small at the time and actual fluency was less of a merit than a university degree was. Once I got into the business, I quickly became known for my skills at translating humor and worked on literally hundreds of episodes of The Late Show with David Letterman, did The Simpsons for five seasons, lots of episodes of Saturday Night Live, etc.I've also translated movie scripts, books, stage plays, and even a musical once.

    LinkedIn absurdly only gives you one job field to list. The last time I did only one thing for any length of time was...well, never, to be honest. Yes, subtitling/translation has been my main source of income for the last decade, but I've always done other things on the side.
