The Football Association of the Czech Republic regularly works with Romana Bičíková during the national team’s matches, on press conferences and other events requiring interpretation from and into the English language. The Czech FA has always been more than satisfied with the services provided and values Miss Bičíková’s professionalism. The collaboration will no doubt continue in the future.

Romana Bičíková has interpreted several press conferences for FC Viktoria Plzeň. She has fulfilled the high standards set by the UEFA supervising bodies in both English and Spanish interpretation, and it was especially thanks to her professionalism and resourcefulness that the press conference prior to the FC Viktoria Plzeň-FC Barcelona Champions League match was acknowledged as the best media meeting of the round. Miss Bičíková has also translated several official documents for the club and we have always been absolutely satisfied with her work. She is a true professional with an interest in the topic and utmost reliability.

Romana Bičíková is one of our best YA translators. We have been working together for a long time and I know that I can always rely on her not only when it comes to keeping to a deadline, but also when it comes to the quality of her work. It is a joy to read her translations, because she has a knack for the language of the youth, which is paramount in translating Young Adult literature.
