About me

I'm a freelance translator from English to Brazilian Portuguese.

I build bridges between worlds, languages and cultures.

I'm a young Brazilian passionate about languages who chose translation as its way of life. I'm an English to Brazilian Portuguese translator, and for me, a good translation is related to the transposition of the meaning from one language to another. That way, considering the context and the text objective are essential steps.

I have profound knowledge of the strategies, problems, and solutions in translations, so I work at the intersection between translation theories and practices. As a translator, I estimate the quality, naturalness, and fidelity of a translation, in addition to the specific needs of the client. As a person, I value dedication, punctuality, and research.

To ensure the quality and the correct use of terminology, I count on the help of computer-assisted translation tools, translation memories, specialized glossaries, and quality assurance software.

What I do

I build bridges between worlds. That is, I seek to connect people around the globe working with texts in their broadest sense, namely documents, reports, articles, and websites. Besides that, I'm committed to quality, professionalism, and on-time delivery.

Translation

Translations from English to Brazilian Portuguese. I apply the translations strategies following the Linguistics procedures, and I also use specialized terminology according to the text specifics. I attain the meaning of the words, thus, providing a high-quality translation that is faithful to the original.

Proofreading

Are you doubtful about grammar, cohesion, or formatting? Specialized proofreading is ideal for making your text shine. To do so, I apply the normative grammar of the Portuguese and English languages, correcting the cohesion and meaning of your writing according to your needs. I also format your archive following norms for publication.

Localization

Website localization consists of a translation that considers the internet specifics features. For your website to be highly relevant, it is necessary to use the right keywords in English and Portuguese. For that, I apply the technics of search engine optimization, UI/UX, and digital marketing.
