Native Spanish (XM) speaker in San Antonio de Los Altos, Venezuela
"My translated texts usually pass as Spanish originals"
I found that there is a need for us translators to convey not only shapes, colours and textures but the true spirit of English culture spanning from the fierce Normans and Celts to the business and courteous gentlemen of nowadays,
I hold a Proficiency Certificate in English from the University of Cambridge, My duties for the last 7 years and 7 months included translating environmental texts and issues from English and French to Spanish, and complementing them with Spanish news and issues from most Hispanic communities and international agencies. My reports as Secretary of the Venezuelan Environmental Commission of the National Academy of Engineering and Habitat were used as raw material for most official statements from the Academy to our Central Executive Government.
As a writer in my native language, this is how I would describe my style
Elocution, helps me present my translated texts in an ostensible academic style, which I learned in the foreign consular community. Diplomatic clients are very demanding and accept no mistakes as a simple misspelling may well trigger an international conflict.
