TOP-QUALITY LANGUAGE SERVICES TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS

Translation & Transcreation

I offer professional translation services from English and Spanish into European Portuguese, my mother tongue. I deliver clear translations that reflect accurately the essence of the original text, whilst ensuring that the final work meets the target audience's expectations. 


Transcreation: communication beyond language

In a globalised marketplace, reaching a new audience requires more than just translating words – it demands an understanding of cultural nuances that resonate with consumer values and experiences. Transcreating is adapting marketing copies to fit the target market, ensuring they evoke the same feelings and reactions as the original message. This process enhances brand credibility, creates a deeper connection with the consumers and drives success in international markets.


I specialise in marketing translations for a variety of sectors including cosmetics, jewellery, watchmaking, perfumery, tourism, nutrition, leisure, lifestyle, food and beverages, among others.


I am member #21 of APTRAD - the Portuguese Association of Translators and Interpreters.

My areas of specialisation

Proofreading | Editing

Proofreading is a process whereby a text is scanned for grammar, syntax, spelling errors and typographical and layout errors, creating flawless and print-ready materials.


Bilingual proofreading consists of checking the translation against the original document, focussing not only on the correctness of the text but also on terminology consistency, adequacy and style. It may involve in-depth research. I also provide stylistic and content editing of Portuguese texts, ensuring that clarity, fluency, logic and consistency are achieved.


The extent of editing/rewriting required is always agreed upon with the client.

Teaching

I am a qualified teacher and trainer of Portuguese, English and Spanish as foreign languages, with experience working for the Portuguese Ministry of Education and Science as well as in private schools.


Additionally, I have served as a university assistant lecturer, specialising in Business English, Spanish Language & Culture and Translation Techniques.


With extensive experience in developing educational materials, I have designed customised courses tailored to meet diverse language learning needs.


I am member #6729 of APP - Portuguese Teachers' Association.

Customer Satisfaction

To guarantee quality and ensure customer satisfaction, for a period of two weeks following the project's completion, you may request any changes, free of charge (addition of new content will be charged at the usual rate). As part of a close follow-up policy, I always welcome feedback and will gladly sort out any terminological issues or other matters if need be.


I endorse ProZ.com's professional guidelines for translation services.
