Bio

Hello and welcome to my profile!


My name is Cecília Alves and I'm a carioca from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I've been living in Rosario, Argentina since 2013, though I maintain close contact with my mother tongue here and visit my home country every year.


I have an eclectic background: a B.A. in Languages and Literatures (Portuguese-English) with a Teaching Degree and a B.A. in International Relations. I'm a former English teacher with 9 years of experience teaching children, teenagers and adults. My passion for languages (especially English, Spanish and Portuguese, my working languages) and a strong interest in translation led me to have an English-Portuguese Translation Certificate and a Spanish-Portuguese Translation Certificate. As for certificates in languages, I have the Certificate of Proficiency in English from the University of Michigan (USA) and the Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera (DELE) - Nivel B2 (Avanzado) from Instituto Cervantes (SPA).


I've been a freelance English/Spanish > Brazilian Portuguese translator and editor since 2011. My experience with international translation agencies is as broad as my specialty areas:


EN>PTBR:


  • IT: software/web/app localization, hardware, consumer products
  • Telecommunications: audio/videoconference products and solutions
  • Marketing: leaflets, brochures, presentations, video games descriptions, market research questionnaires
  • Education: international student exchange programs
  • Human Resources/Business: e-learning courses, training materials, corporate communications, standard operating procedures (SOPs)
  • Industrial Printing/Technologies: printing equipments/consumables, mobile computers and scanners
  • Medical/Life Sciences/Healthcare: medical devices (surgery instruments, diabetes control devices, CPAP equipments, imaging equipments, cardiovascular, oncology), general (instructional materials for patients and the general public, personal protective equipments (PPEs)) - instructions for use (IFUs), operating manuals, user manuals, reference manuals, quick start guides, white papers, medical software/platform/systems (UI, GUI, online/desktop help)

SP>PTBR:

  • Travel/Tourism (hotel websites)
  • Cooking/Culinary (restaurant menus)
  • Marketing (fashion/clothing)


I have also a short-time experience in Travel & Tourism in the pair EN>PTBR, having translated/edited some leaflets of luxury outlets. I'm interested in growing my experience in the field of Travel & Tourism in both my language pairs.


I work full time, including on weekends. I regularly use Trados Studio, memoQ, XTM and Phrase, and I have my own licenses of Trados Studio 2022 and memoQ Translator Pro. Though still getting used to them, I'm willing to use AI tools in my work if needed.


Last but not least, my main professional skills are proactivity, teamwork, responsiveness and great research capacity.


You may also check my profiles in LinkedIn and Translators without Borders (TWB), besides requesting my CV to get more information about my background and experience.


Looking forward to your contact!
