I graduated in 1979 as English Technical, Scientific and Literary translator from ISPLVJRF
“Lenguas Vivas” , renowned for excellence. Since then, I’ve been translating non-stop and enjoying every moment of it.
My first translations as freelancer were technical manuals for communications equipment and I kept specializing in different engineering areas:
Electronics, Mechanical, Oil and Gas, Telecommunications and IT. In 1986 I started translating for Medtronic Argentina and added
Cardiology and Pacemakers to my specialties.
Interpreting had been an informal activity I was naturally good at until I took an intensive course at Rut Simcovich Interpreters School in the summer of 1997 and became a
professional interpreter. Simultaneous interpreting is my favorite. However, my most memorable interpreting jobs were consecutive: interpreting
Bobby Fisher and Gary Kasparov at two press conferences in Buenos Aires.
Translating and interpreting are complementary for me, as solutions arrived at while translating usually come in handy when you are in the booth.
As founding member of
AATI (Asociación Argentina de Traductores e Intérpretes) I was very proud to be elected
Vicepresident in 1999. I held this position for four years.
From 1994 to 2003 I co-managed CAIT, (www.cait.com.ar) where I supervised and coordinated a multilingual team of translators and interpreters. We specialized in
Management, Human Resources, Marketing, Mining and Oil and Gas, among others.
As all work and no further education makes Jack a dull translator, in 2003 I completed the
Licenciatura in English Language, at the UMSA (Universidad del Museo Social Argentino), which allowed me to hone my research and writing skills and update my knowledge of Applied Linguistics. I’m now back to freelance work. I feel I’ve come a long way from my first translations in my electric typewriter and paper dictionaries to the wealth of software and internet resources and experience of today. Thanks to Proz, I have regular jobs from translation agencies in England (
Global Lexicon) India (
Cosmic Global) and Hungary (
Business Team Translations) plus RSI interpretation projects with
Global Lingo, also from UK.
