Scientists are well aware that achievements cannot be accomplished on one’s own. Even sailors know they depend on one another, especially in stormy weather. In crime novels, the detectives work with consultants, friends, confidants… In a team, each member has a specialty, each one performs his/her best. You already have your ideas, you know what you want to say. Allow me to join you and help you say it perfectly.
MEDICINE
From clinical trial protocols and informed consent forms to advanced research articles or summaries of conference presentations.
MARITIME
Vessel documents, technical specifications, charters, safety rules, Incoterms, expert reports or certification of maintenance work…
EDITORIAL
I love reading. Especially crime novels, essays and prose written by West African women. You will have a knowledgeable translator on your team.
TOURISM
I have translated museum exhibition guides, art catalogues, guides explaining where to go and what to see in cities, hotel descriptions and offerings, car rental company texts and others.
HR
People joining a company need a whole set of documents they must master, such as contracts, conditions of employment or business codes of ethics. Yes, I have indeed translated some.
SWORN
I have translated various types of documents to help clients in their degree recognition, in international adoptions, divorces and other procedures.
Although it is commonly believed writers and translators work on their own, in reality texts are the result of the combined efforts of teams comprised of people with various skills and one common aim: creating a text that fulfills the purpose it was created for.
Writers and translators start projects, have an idea and polish it over time. Once they are satisfied their version, it is advisable to have other people read the text and help them polish it: maybe the accuracy of data needs verification, maybe some paragraphs need reordering to follow a more logical organization, or perhaps the text just needs a final read to check on layout. That is where first readers, prooreaders, editors and other members of the team come in.
Researchers and medical, veterinary and pharmaceutical companies have special needs when it comes to translation. Their texts can be academic articles, medical protocols, texts for patients, texts for professionals or documents sent for EMA approval.
The tone and the vocabulary vary, specificities must be maintained and documents have to be updated. My experience in these types of translations (esp. in oncology and veterinary medicine) helps me adapt those texts safely and accurately.
I have discovered that my habilities as a translator perfectly complement my love for crime novels as reader. That is why I have started translated this type of texts and I am actively searching for novels similar to the Charlie Parker cycle (written by the great John Connolly).
I can work with the publishers or directly with writers.
I have included an image of a skull; I am crossing my fingers hoping dame Sue Black sees it and has an interesting project where I can help.
I was born by the El Musel port, in Gijón, on the coast of Asturias, watching fishing ships bring fish and other ships carry coal. It is only logical that part of my work now is centered on translating texts related to the sea and to ships.
I have translated all types of ship documentation, texts on maritime safety, charter contracts and maritime expert reports. In all of them I have tried my best to use the most precise vocabulary and reflect the original with utmost accuracy.
