I offer a translation, transcreation and proofreading service. As a native English speaker I translate from three source languages: Spanish, French and Portuguese into English. I have more than 7 years experience translating and proofreading a wide range of types of translation, mainly for UK and EU agencies and direct customers. This has amounted to date to over 2.1 million words. My main CAT tool is Wordfast but I have also used a number of client on-line platforms and other CAT tools. I handle sdlxliff files from SDL Trados. I am versatile and endeavour to offer a high quality service at a reasonable price (without agency markups). Translations are produced to your deadline according to your specification. I research source text subject areas thoroughly if required and use a number of resources, professional forums, glossaries and term bases to ensure the right terminology and the right translation. I can also provide certification for any work produced.
