"Respect the original to make the translation sparkle"

In five years at the University of Cambridge, I translated extracts from hundreds of literary works from Montaigne and Calderón to Isabel Allende and Amélie Nothomb.

About Me

I respect words

I have experience of literary, educational and business translation. My approach combines a deep respect for the source text with an unwavering focus on the target language.

Working to tight deadlines
No compromise on quality

Qualified

After four years of Translation Studies at the University of Cambridge, I graduated with a Double First in French, Spanish and Portuguese. My professional experience cuts across literary, business and educational content. I can work between diverse media and cultures, providing thorough, effective and creative solutions to challenging translation problems.

Content I translate

Literary or literal, I can produce an accurate and innovative translation for your unique needs.

Recent projects I have completed include translations into English of:

French-language libretti for a book on Bohuslav Martinů
Spanish-language e-learning courses on business skills
Spanish-language copy on child rights
Portuguese-language poetry

What sets me apart

Deep cultural knowledge and respect for the original text
Adaptable style attuned to the end product you want
No-fuss worker prepared to put in the hard yards

As a writer in my native language, this is how I would describe my style

My natural writing style is concise and sharp. I convey information clearly and pay close attention to the sound, style and overall impact of my words.

Adaptable

I can adapt this style for various purposes without compromising on clarity or quality.

Poetic or pithy, verbose or sincere, my writing is always accurate and impactful.
I will listen closely to your unique needs and produce content to match.

When clients request literal translations, this is how I handle the situation

Translators move meaning from one set of words to another. It goes without saying that a word-for-word translation is nonsensical.

Deciding whether an image needs to be retained exactly or approximated for something more specific to the target language is part of the fun of translation.
I produce translations that transport meaning accurately and creatively between languages.
I will always respect specific images or ideas that you want to keep true to the original.

Alfonso Andreo Almansa, Fundación Diagrama

Daniel was here as an intern during months in which we had a lot of translation work, we were publishing 6 leaflets in all the EU Member States languages plus arabic, chinese mandarin and Russian about the rights of children at different stages of the juvenile justice system, to inform these children and their parents or legal guardians. Apart from translating those and other documents to English, Daniel became part of our team, a team that had to work together to verify by all means necessary that all the translators had done a good job with translating those leaflets and having the cohesion we were looking for them as a pack. I asked him to help in many different tasks that required an eye to detail, diligence, research, structure, etc. and he was outstandingly efficient and collaborative. As a company you can trust that the working relationship with him will be satisfactory and that he will deliver what has been asked of him. We are very grateful to him and remember him fondly.
