Native Portuguese (PT) speaker in Vila do Conde, Portugal

"English & Spanish (ES) to European Portuguese translator & proofreader"

The social sciences cover my favorite areas: education and psychology. It was my first area of work, in December 2020, in my curricular internship. I trained at a health-related organization and translated 3 projects (over 100,000 words) related to mental health, schizophrenia, psychosis, and wellness.

This is what motivates me to do my best work

I really enjoy what I do. Translation is something that all of us experience in our lives, but most don’t really acknowledge that. Being able to act like a bridge in communication is something special.

I am my own motivation. And that motivation has several parts like creating good relationships with clients, being their first option because they really like my work, learning new things (since translators do a lot of research), and being proud of my job and of all of my journey.

This is how I continue my learning in my area of expertise

I always try to participate in webinars about the areas I like. I have focused on networking in order to discover the wonderful work, tips, articles and publications of colleagues, which are also a great source of knowledge. I’m also getting into the world of podcasts!

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

A client who asks for such a thing is because she/he has never been involved in the world of translation. I try to explain that translation is not about words, phrases, expressions, but about ideas and context. A good translation conveys the message of the original text, and this is undoubtedly the client’s goal and mine.
