TRANSLATION

“To translate is to build bridges, to overcome barriers”.

That sounds beautiful, poetic and even sincere, but not practical at all. So we’ll consider translation as transferring a text from one language into the other. The difficulties inherent to this process are gigantic, though, so usually translators only translate into their native language.

As for me, I translate mostly from English into Brazilian Portuguese, but I may go the other way round under certain conditions (upon request). I also provide Spanish and French into my language.

EDITING/PROOFREADING

You know what makes any text look half-baked? Several misspellings and grammar mistakes!

Therefore, editing and proofreading is mandatory.

The basic concept of proofreading is correcting grammar mistakes, but there’s much more to it.

Since this task is so important, it’s usually divided into proofreading and editing.

While proofreading consists of correcting grammar mistakes and misspellings, editing is far more complex and involves changes in structures, cross-checking a text against its original and making stylistic enhancements.

Drop me a line and we’ll find out together what is it that you need.

LOCALISATION (L10N)

Localisation is a process which differentiates the content of a translation depending upon the place where it’ll be used. An example that would help us get the gist of localisation is when one uses “truck” in the US and “lorry” in the UK, this is some kind of localisation, but, of course, there’s a lot more to it. Even the fact that I’m using British English spelling is a type of localisation. Got it?

LINGUISTIC TESTING

As the name suggests, linguistic testing is the final (or almost) assessment of content by a linguist, who’ll seek bugs and mistakes that the proofreading/editing might have missed.

BUT, WHY ME?

I’ll give you 7 reasons to choose me:

1. I’m passionate about translation, having more than 13 years of experience in several areas.
2. You’ll always deal with me, so I guarantee you a tailor-made service.
3. As an all-round nerd, I work with state-of-the-art technology, CAT tools, tons of dictionaries, glossaries, reference materials and grammars, and I am really picky — down to the smallest detail!
4. I perform a thorough proofreading and editing, so everything looks good for you. With me, your project will be ready and dead right!
5. I am quite obsessed with deadlines, so you can rest assured your project will be delivered as you asked for within the agreed term.
6. Since one swallow does not make a summer, I have a broad network of translators who can help me to tackle bigger projects and, if you need services in languages I don’t work with, these people come to rescue.
7. I participated in the localisation of over 80 game titles, translated over 2 million words in games, over 2 million in business-related content, over 600 thousand in different types of agreements and surpassed 4 million words translated and edited.
