Maria Gonzalez, M.A. English, M.A. ForLang

a.k.a. Maria

Native Spanish (ES) speaker in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain

"EN>ES Senior Freelance Linguist"

I’m thrilled to be a humanist in a knowledge-based global economy. After all, my academic background could only lead to that. My life has always been deeply influenced by the subjects I’ve studied, the books I’ve read, the languages I’ve learnt, the travels I’ve made, the movies I’ve watched…, which have built me both personally and professionally.

I am excited about these new developments with the translation technology I use

AI and NMT. They are the sign of the times.

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

Natural, refined, yet adapted to each particular register.

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

By keeping them accurate as well as grammatically and syntactically correct at all times, avoiding overly literal, ridiculous translations (such as, for example, those of ‘false friends’).

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

Apart from what I learn by just translating everyday, I keep reading and reading… and then I read some more. That helps me absorb and retain specific terminology and lingo. Besides, I periodically take industry-specific training courses in areas such as legal translation.

This is how I would describe my work style

I primarily rely on a number of state-of-the-art translation and quality assurance tools that boost my productivity while providing consistent translations. Besides, I perform thorough terminology research for the sake of accuracy — I particularly love that specific detective work. :)

This is what motivates me to do my best work

I just love it! What else could I need to be motivated?
