How can I help you?
Check out how I can support your language needs. Get in touch if you have any questions and let me know what you need. I will advise you and draw up a bespoke, no-obligation quote.
Before starting any project – and throughout the process – I ask whatever questions are needed to fully understand your requirements, so that your ideas are conveyed precisely, and your interests are protected with the diligence of a trusted legal advisor.
If your project falls outside the services I offer, I will be happy to put you in touch with a trusted colleague.
I treat all information you share with the strictest confidentiality from the very first contact. For details, please read the Privacy Policy.
In simple terms, translation means conveying a message from one language to another. But is it really just a matter of replacing one set of words with another?
My work goes beyond transferring words from one language to another. I recreate your message in Spanish so that it feels natural, sounds like you and conveys the same meaning, tone and nuances as the original. This allows you to communicate with clients, prospective clients and other contacts clearly, authentically and effectively.
The translation process:
Documents I commonly translate
– Minutes of shareholders’ general meetings
– School certificates and report cards
– Diploma supplements
– University diplomas and degree certificates, including bachelor’s and master’s degrees
– Identity documents, including national identity cards, equivalent documents and passports
– Marriage certificates
– Certificates of inheritance
– Court summonses and other legal notices
– Contracts
– Tax returns, forms, and declarations
– Bank statements
– Notarised powers of attorney and deeds
Proofreading
Do you have a translation that you would like independently reviewed, either because you have concerns about its quality or simply want additional reassurance that it is accurate, clear, and fit for purpose? Send it over, and I will review it, flag any issues and send back a polished version.
Are you a fellow translation professional who would like a second pair of expert eyes before delivering work to a client? An independent review can help ensure that terminology, style, accuracy, and consistency have all been checked, with no important detail overlooked. I will review your translations and provide clear, constructive feedback.
Copyediting for style, spelling, punctuation and typography
I refine the style, spelling, punctuation, and formatting of texts written in Spanish to prepare them for publication, treating your text with the same care I would my own.
If you have specific preferences, I can follow the conventions of a particular style guide, including the guidance of the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE), the EU Interinstitutional Style Guide, the United Nations Editorial Manual and the El País Style Book, or any other reference you provide.
Language auditing and consultancy
Do you have a website or other material that has already been translated, but you are unsure about the quality? I can carry out a one-hour linguistic audit to give you a clear, well-founded assessment of the translation and help you decide whether it would benefit from proofreading, revision or even a complete retranslation. This way, you can choose the right service only if it is truly needed.
Planning a new translation into Spanish but unsure whether Spanish from Spain or a Latin American variety would be more appropriate and cost-effective for your audience? I can advise you on the differences and recommend the best option for your project. Because one size rarely fits all.
