Bio

Your Technical Translation

huqlzwbzp0shj325wrv6.png


I am a technical and scientific translator with a Master's Degree in Physics at the University of Seville, Spain.


Since July 2005 I have been working full-time as a freelance technical translator, and since June 2006 also as a proofreader.


Although I have primarily a scientific background, I have always been passionate about languages and the correct use of Spanish, and having a solid knowledge of German and English, I set myself the professional goal of combining this knowledge in the translation of complex technical and scientific texts.

I consider that my most important attribute is that, being a scientist, thanks to my analytical skills and my attention to detail, I will never let any errors slip into my translations.

Unfortunately, I often find slight (and not so slight) mistakes in scientific translations and want to contribute to ending this.

Now I have twenty years of experience in Industrial Engineering and medical equipment. I am, however, well-qualified for translating all kinds of scientific texts, and I am very cautious with the correction, fluency, and style of the target language as well: in October 2024, my translation of Sean Carroll's literary-scientific book Quanta and Fields was published.

The personal accomplishments I am most proud of are related to the aeronautical field: I have been in charge of reviewing a large project for the cockpit of a military aircraft, and I was also appointed as the evaluator of translation tests in this field. And in the medical field, have also done many translations of surgical manuals for bone implants, including spinal surgery. Both projects involved an enormous responsibility and commitment.

With a passion for mountain sports and a deep knowledge of all technologies, materials, and specific jargon involved, currently, I am looking forward to translating/transcreating in this field, too. Recently, I have taken a course on Transcreation for this purpose.

I am in the process of learning the subtitling technique as well to broaden my fields of work to the mountain sports industry or any technical field that needs this service.

Pro-bono work is also welcome, depending on availability!

Please feel free to drop me a message at [email protected], and I'll find a solution to your language problem!
