Successful translation should go unnoticed. When you read the translated text, it should ring as true as if penned by a native writer. The translator’s skill lies in erasing their presence so your readers believe it was written in their language. My years of experience as a writer help me shape your final copy. I place my love of words at your service.
In what areas can I translate?
Over two decades translating Spanish and Catalan into English means I can offer these and many other specialisations:
– Advertising
– Art and architecture
– Business and commercial
– Education
– Film and television, including subtitling
– Legal
– Medical and health care
– Tourism
– Other areas. See below for further specialisations.
Linguistic competency
Because I am a trained copy editor, your final translation will benefit from a keen eye for detail and thorough knowledge of grammar, punctuation and style. I believe in ongoing training to offer you continually improving services, like creating content directly in English.
With AI technology do we still need translators?
Like many other sectors in recent years, the translation industry has been hit by AI’s disruptive innovation. Does this mean the sun has set on human translation? Not by any means!
I embrace the latest translation technology for the advantages it brings my clients in terms of accuracy and standardisation of terminology, while also offering faster turn-around times. Yet every project I translate is carefully copy-edited by an experienced human professional – sometimes two!
AI is transforming our industry – for the better, I believe. Yet to ensure that your brand communicates to your clients with real feeling, conveying your company’s values and brand message in a voice as unique and dynamic as you are, choose a human translator.
UK or US English
As a native speaker, I write primarily in British English though I am also at ease with American usage. I live in Barcelona, but remain close to the UK culturally and professionally. This keeps me attuned with how English is evolving. So the content I deliver resonates with today’s readers.
