Software localization
and technical & marketing translation, revision and creative review, particularly in Digital Marketing, Customer Experience, digital video, publishing, graphic arts, prepress, printing, imaging, video editing.


Technical know-how
To ensure technical as well as linguistic competence, I follow closely my fields of specialisation as a real-world user as well as a translator. Close contacts with industry professionals, experts, and journalists.

When necessary, I team up with other experts and specialised translators to cover projects that require knowledge in specific fields.

Since 1997 full-time freelance technical translator/reviewer.

1988 - 1997 inhouse at Aldus Europe, then Adobe Systems Italia (various positions: Localization Project Leader, Technical Manager, Product Manager, Sales Engineer).



Recent and on-going projects

 What clients say
It has been a pleasure working with you
all these months on this. You have done a fantastic job,
and I could not have done this without you.
Thank you so much for your flexibility, your dedication
and your hard work.
I look forward to working with you on the next project
and I just wanted to let you know how much your efforts are appreciated.

Enrique Rosado, Project Manager
[at the end of a major six month project]

I have worked alongside Roberta on several big localisation projects
and I have been impressed by how knowledgeable she is
and how committed she is in everything she does,
from translation to review and testing.
Working with her as a fellow translator and thanks to her numerous tips
I have been able to learn loads on the localisation process.
I really do not know how I would have done without her...

Cesira Consorte, Line Manager for Italian and French

Thank you so much for your fabulous job on the English >Italian printing job!
The end client was thrilled and your insights and comments were excellent. Bravo!
