Bio
  • Full-time freelance translator and localiser since 1997
  • BA in Translation and Interpreting (1997) at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain.
  • Fields of expertise: IT/localization, technology (machinery, devices, automotive, energy), marketing/ads.
  • Language combinations: From German, English and French into Spanish (European and neutral) and Catalan.
  • End clients include: MAN Diesel & Turbo, Bantleon, Oerlikon Schlafhorst, Miltenyi Biotec,
    Hako, Vorwerk, Stiebel Eltron, Intel, IBM, Shuttle, Medion, Wacom,
    McFit, Sharp, Sanyo, Sony, JVC, Panasonic, HP, Lely, BWise, Immosolar,
    Toyota, BMW, Daimler, among many others.
  • Most of my assigments include a variety of text types according to the
    different needs of a company: manuals, leaflets, fact sheets, software
    and website localisation, marketing campaigns, SEO (search engine
    optimisation), technical specs, training documents, terms and
    conditions, privacy policies, presentations
    , etc. So the kind of texts I
    work on are quite varied and the style required must be appropriate
    every time, while using consistent terminology for that client.
  • Besides my translation activity, I'm a Spanish teacher (universities of
    Tübingen and Hohenheim, Volkshochschule) and teacher trainer. I work
    also as a freelance author/editor for Spanish as a second language at
    Ernst Klett Sprachen, and I published my first novel in Spanish in 2020
    with Babidi-bú.
  • CAT tools used: SDL Trados Studio 2019, MemSource (online), MemoQ (online), Smartling (online).
