I work as a professional English-French-Czech translator and interpreter living in Prague, where I also work as a certified guide for companies, event organizers, as well as individuals. In terms of translation and interpretation, I cover the following combinations of languages: English-Czech, Czech-English, French-Czech, and Czech-French.
My specialty is providing full-scale language support for crossing any language barriers and intercultural differences with ease, both in written and spoken language. With me, you will feel fully confident to express your precise thoughts and emotions under all circumstances, be it a formal business meeting, written correspondence, or any social interaction.
I have a Master’s degree in intercultural communication and interpreting English, French, and Czech from the renowned Charles University in Prague, as well as a number of other courses, internships, and certifications related to my areas of expertise.
Over the years, I have worked with a number of outstanding companies and institutions including the Czech News Agency, CEFRES, Comic-Con Prague, the French Film Festival, the One World (Documentary) Film Festival, EduIn and many others. I often work with events, where I can fully employ my strengths in guiding people through countless social interactions, where they form new friendships and relationships, make business decisions, etc.
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.

Firsthand recommendations
We have been working with Katerina Vorlicka for four years. 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.
Always ready to 101% and a smile! We praise Katerina for her reliability and attitude.
I had the occasion to supervise Ms Katerina Vorlicka during her internship at the Parisian CzechTourism office. Here I would like to confirm her professional skills and qualities. In addition to the general administrative support of the office, Katerina was responsible for the tourist information centre. Her duty consisted in assisting the French public and tourism professionals to prepare their journeys to the Czech Republic. Katerina very easily integrated our small team, quickly learnt to fulfil all the tasks she was assigned with devotion and to react to various requests of our clients. Numerous feedback that we were receiving confirmed her efficiency and sense for detail. Katerina is a self-dependent and responsible person who does not hesitate to take her own initiative and always manages all entrusted tasks in a very effective and organised way. Her pleasant and polite behaviour and character made working with her very enjoyable.
