Bio

my name is Claudio Buttinelli, from Rome and I am an online multilingual
translator and have been working since 2012 for the Canadian web magazine of
international economics and politics "Les 7 du Quebec", (www.les7duquebec.net) where I translate
into English and Italian (previously also into Spanish and Portuguese) all the
articles that arrive to them every day, in French.


Before “Les 7” I worked from 2002 to 2011 as a translator for the
Marxist-Leninist Italian Communist Party, one of whose component  was a
schoolmate of mine, translating the Party's website into English and
translating the articles and documents into various languages that the
Secretary General Domenico Savio wrote and which I sent via email to various
organizations and progressive parties, including "Les 7 du quebec",
whose editor Robert Bibeau ([email protected])
was impressed by, in his words, professionalism and dedication with which I
worked, and he asked me to work for him and I accepted and for 12 years,
without modesty, thanks to me the articles that could only be read by French
speakers, can be read by English speakers, Italians and up to a little while
ago also by Hispanics and Portuguese speakers, but which for reasons of too
much work I had to sacrifice from the beginning of 2024.


I also translate books, for Robert Bibeau in recent years I have translated
some of his books, all of French original translated in English and in Italian
and someone in Spanish and Portuguese, whose titles are part of my CV, recently
updated on five languages in Word and PDF version. Just some time ago I
finished translating Biebau's latest book written with the French-Algerian
writer Khider Mesloub and I translated it from the original French into
English, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, and Bibeau, incredulous at all the
work done, will try to pay me.

Because the strangeness and perhaps uniqueness of my work is that I work for
free without receiving any money, because the publisher and the webmagazine
cannot pay, they are not translation agencies, he says he should give his
pension, but I continued and continue to work for free because I like doing
this job, even if after the death of my father, which occurred recently, a father
who was the real economic backbone, it led me to consider that the time has
come to earn money with my work, and Bibeau himself interprets this desire of
mine, in inviting me to be known in the online world, to publicize what I have
done and what I do, writing among others to many who write in the webmagazine
such as Khider, Naba, Brenner and Bhadrakumar.

An
another example of your offer and language combination, English-Italian, as
Work Samples earlier I named Michael Brenner ([email protected])
among those who write on "Les 7" well now I give an example of the
linguistic combination English-Italian. A few days ago Brenner, Professor of
International Affairs at the University of Pittsburgh; a Senior Fellow at the
Center for Transatlantic Relations, SAIS-Johns Hopkins (Washington,D.C.),
contributor to research and consulting projects on Euro-American security and
economic issues. Publishes and teaches in the fields of American foreign
policy, Euro-American relations, and the European Union, then Brenner wrote to
me, also complimenting me for having translated his articles in "Les
7" into French, Italian and Spanish,  then he wrote to me sending me
his latest editorial or better essay, and since then, since May 2024 , every
week Brenner sends me his editorial, sometimes it can be the report of a video
that I transcribe and translate always in French and Italian and then I send
all the work to him, always remaining, Brenner happy with my work done, here,
as Work samples and as a vision of my work with my translation from English
into Italian I send to you the translation of his latest book and essay,
translated by the undersigned on French and Italian.

What Bibeau told me is that, even if I have a talent as a translator, I am
very reserved, in fact I am not on social networks, if that and much more will
jeopardize the possibility of having material to translate, whatever articles,
documents, pamphlets, books etc., that's fine too, the emotion of having
written to you, as I have done to other people all over the world, it will still
stay with me and I would say thanks for your attention and I will try
elsewhere.

Regarding the deadline, I think you should be the one to give me a deadline
that you deem necessary. Even if you gave me a very tight deadline, like in
this case, I would not hesitate to try, maintaining my professionalism and
precision in translating, in this case in reviewing and correcting, so I accept
your first deadline, the most convenient for you and I will only have you and
your work to be done as a priority.

Sorry if I've gone on too long, but it is standard practice for a
hypothetical client or for a translation agency like you to know as much about
the hypothetical translator, in this case me.


But in the future on general  if you need a native Italian speaker to
translate from English, French (also French-Canadian), Spanish and Portuguese
in Italian and vice versa I am at your disposal, even if I repeat my bitter
ironic addition, unfortunately making me pay, because my economic situation is
really not good.

Now I say goodbye, thank you for your attention, sorry for all but always
much success to you all

Best regards,

Claudio Buttinelli – Roma
