Silvana M.

I translate, edit, and proofread content across English, Portuguese, and German, with 6+ years of professional experience working on multilingual projects for international clients and agencies. My focus is on getting the language right in context, not just grammatically, but in terms of meaning, tone, terminology, flow, and naturalness. Whether I'm translating from scratch or reviewing an existing text, I want the final version to read naturally for its intended audience rather than feel like a translation. My experience covers software and app localization, website content, marketing and gaming content, technical documentation and manuals, books and long-form material, subtitles, official documents, and linguistic QA. I can help with: • English ↔ Portuguese translation • German ↔ English translation • German ↔ Portuguese translation • Proofreading and editing • Translation review and linguistic QA • Website, app, and software localization • Technical documentation and long-form content • Subtitling and audiovisual translation Editing and proofreading are a significant part of my work. I regularly review texts for clarity, phrasing, grammar, terminology, tone, style, and consistency, including content that may be technically correct but still sounds awkward or translated. If I come across an ambiguity, inconsistency, or potential source-text issue, I flag it rather than make assumptions. I'm a native European Portuguese speaker with an academic background in Languages, Literatures and Cultures, specializing in German Studies, followed by Master's studies in Translation. I regularly work with Trados, memoQ, and Wordfast, as well as translation memories, glossaries, terminology databases, style guides, and QA workflows. I'm comfortable with both individual assignments and long-term projects where consistency and reliable communication matter across multiple files or stages. If you have a translation, editing, or proofreading project in mind, feel free to send me the details. I'll be happy to take a look and let you know how I can help.
