Work with Shaun T. Richards!

• I treat every project as a learning opportunity. Whether it’s technical copy or poetic dialogue, I dissect the nuances—language choices, cultural cues, SEO layers—to refine my instincts.

• I stay active in translator communities—on platforms like ProZ, LinkedIn, and now Zingword. Exchange and feedback are part of the job, and I’m always honing my approach.

• I dig into web infrastructure as part of my localisation process. Understanding redirects, canonical tags, and domain hygiene helps me deliver translations that aren’t just accurate—they perform.

• I read beyond the brief. That might mean diving into UX, branding, or multilingual metadata to ensure my work fits the full strategic puzzle.

• I experiment with style and voice. Language isn’t static, and I love playing with register, tone, and rhythm to match client goals—especially when working across Spanish and English.

I begin by clarifying scope, tone, and audience. I research terminology and context, then draft a natural, audience-focused translation that preserves nuance. I revise for style, register, and coherence, ensuring the final version reads seamlessly and remains faithful to the original. Technical checks follow—formatting, layout, and SEO elements where relevant. I stay open to feedback and fine-tune as needed to ensure impact and clarity.

I’m driven by the challenge of crafting language that’s both accurate and resonant. Whether it’s refining tone for a brand voice or preserving cultural nuance in translation, I take pride in the details. Knowing that a well-localised message can genuinely connect across borders keeps me focused. Every project is a chance to learn, collaborate, and deliver clarity—so I treat each one as if it’s the most important.
