TRANSLATION & TRANSCREATION
Translations are a funny thing. A high-quality translation is precisely one that is able to hide its true identity; one that reads and feels as if it was the original text.
Translators are, more often than not, invisible forces that hide behind the words that they so carefully craft. They eliminate language barriers and craft messages that resonate across languages and cultures. Ironically, a lot of work goes into ensuring that their craft remains invisible. This is part of the magic of high-quality human translation.
With over 11 years of experience in the translation industry, I provide spotless translations in Spanish, my mother tongue, and this is how I work my magic:
1
SEAMLESS COLLABORATION
The first step of the process is for me to fully grasp the cultural context and the significance of every word in the content you provide – whether it's a short sentence that you will use in a slogan or an entire website about running shoes. This will allow me to ensure that your content retains its original message and nuances in the translation, making it relatable to global audiences.
To make this possible, I welcome you to be a part of the process. Whether you wish to be hands-on throughout the process or provide occasional input, your involvement is valuable. You're not just a client: you're a collaborator and you know your product better than anyone. Your insights play a crucial role in shaping the outcome. By the time we're done with your first project, we might have become friends forever.

BALANCING TECHNOLOGY AND EXPERTISE
In today's tech-driven world, translators have to learn to adapt to an ever-changing digital world. I leverage modern tools like translation memories, glossaries, and spell-checkers to streamline the process and make my work a little easier. And while technology aids the human translator, it's undeniable that it's precisely the human touch that truly brings a translation to life.
My experience combines with technology for translations that are both accurate and natural. I meticulously review the grammar, syntax, context, and cultural relevance of every translation to ensure that the content mirrors and evokes the same feelings as the original.

This approach goes beyond words, capturing the heart of your message and then tailoring it for different cultures. It's like playing a game where you have to balance idioms, emotions, and cultural vibes. As someone who's got the knack for it, I'll work magic on your content, ensuring it connects with your audience exactly the way you intended it to.
