Get professional undefined to undefined general translation services

Since I retired as a teacher, I became a full-time freelance translator and was very successful from the very beginning. I built a portfolio of customers from all over the world, who keep sending me work on a daily basis due the trust they have in my accuracy, dedication to this fascinating world of words that is the act of translating and total fulfillment of deadlines.

I started translating in 2005 when I was a teenager. I had a Brazilian forum about a Korean singer and most of the news we've got were in English. I translated all the English news we could find into Portuguese so our friends and visitors could read too. In 2009 I got into Languages course in college, thinking in becoming a literary translator since I really love to read. I translated short stories, ended up learning how to subtitle, all to family and friends. Late in 2015, I started my specialization in English - Portuguese translation where I've learned a lot about this amazing career. In 2016 I got my first paid jobs in translation and I've joined Babelcube, Coursera, and TedTalks to improve my skills. Today, I translate more technical texts than literature. But I can't say it isn't amazing. I've learned so many new things, and so much about myself in the process that I must say it is a win-win situation.

Good and honest professional, love translation, technology, programming and design are my passion. I love to learn new things, always searching to learn more each day.

MA, English Literature and Linguistics, Translation Professional, TEFL Certified English teacher. 2014- 2019 Acquiring a vast expertise for the last 5 years in various fields. Responsible for handling and translating all kind of documents such as; international development reports, technical and website materials, feasibility and business case studies, medical material and more. Having a special educational preparation and extensive experience in writing articles, essays, literary comments, political researches and technical reports. Moreover, I have worked extensively in the field of subtitling movies, documentaries, TV series, programs ... etc from and into English. What is so important for enhancing one’s expertise is the contact and interaction with so many different fields, through which to gain hands-on experience. Inter-personal skills and ability to work in a multi-cultural environment with sensitivity and respect to diversity.

My experience as a translator ranges from technical documents to entertainment texts. I am a Law Bachelor and I have worked as a tax advisor, writing and proofreading documents in both English and Portuguese as daily jobs. I worked also on the Brazilian localization of EA’s FIFA 18 and Need for Speed Payback. My job was to ensure all texts and audio were properly translated for the Brazilian market, checking if these assets were correctly implemented in-game and that they fitted the game style and natural flow of the language. Such experience lit my desire of building bridges between different cultures and breaking down the language barriers between them. In my case, Portuguese is spoken by more than 255 million people, of which 210 million are Brazilians alone. However, the majority of the lusophone population has no understanding of the English language, and English speakers too have generally no knowledge of Portuguese. This is an obstacle I want to help undo.

Hello. I have a few thing I'd like you to know about my work in translation: I've had some tasks translating from English to Portuguese and vice-versa, mainly casual translations.

I'm available to translate anything casual in topics such as History, Politics, Gaming, Arts, Geography and Technology. I'm not looking forward to earn money with this, I'm just here for the thrill!
