Although Google Translate is a wonderful achievement for what it is, there is still no comparison with the power of expression human consciousness adds, as this video illustrates beautifully. Enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bVAoVlFYf0

A GLIMPSE INTO THE WORLD OF TRANSLATION

13/04/2015 10:28

I am always thrilled at initial discussions between clients and linguists. Many times, the client has never placed a translation before and they are not sure about their specific needs, so it is our task to assist them until we end up with a clear brief for both parties. Something as simple as...

20TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY When I started translating full-time, back in the summer of 1993, we worked in a totally different world. To start with, there was no Internet. Most of my work had to be faxed or posted. I started using the modem more and more as time went by. Those were the days of...

MACRO-ATTENTION AND MICRO-ATTENTION

11/09/2010 12:53

When I am working on a text, be it a translation assignment or a text I am revising, two different skills are paramount: broad comprehension ("macro-attention") and the ability to focus sharply ("micro-attention"). In other words, on the one hand I need to make sure that terminology is used...

It’s all about people and communication

I believe that translation is not just about rendering messages accurately into another language, but also understanding WHO the message is intended for and WHAT its intended use is.

I am committed to offering you a quality service that will exceed your requirements and expectations.

I have very good organizational skills, so when I take on a project, you can relax and leave it to me. I always aim to send my translation back before the agreed deadline and I am always happy to learn to use new software or technology. If something is not crystal clear or if the content doesn´t seem fully appropriate for its intended addressee, I will certainly discuss it with you and offer you an alternative that would work well in the eyes of a Spanish-speaker.

Visitor’s notice

I am a full member of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting (ITI).

You and your project will be handled professionally and in accordance with the ITI Code of Professional Conduct.
