PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:

1991 – 2011
Interpreter & Free-Lance Translator

I'm a professional interpreter and translator, specializing in Businesses, Financial, Marketing, Procurement, IT, and Literary translation work from English into Portuguese and Spanish, and from Portuguese and Spanish into English.

I work considering every aspect of a language project. Translation and localization are but a first step. Proofreading, word selection, grammar, punctuation and flow are also considered. Of course, a cultural assessment to validate suitability to target market is carried out. The end product is a document as effective in the target language as it was in its source language.

Translation samples can be e-mailed or faxed according to subject area of interest. You can send me a small excerpt from a prospective assignment and I'll be glad to return it translated at no charge.
