As you have read above, my name is Carolina, I am from Argentina, my mother tongue is Spanish, and I am a translator. Why am I the perfect fit for your project? Well, because of my commitment to my clients and my profession, my strong achievement drive and relentless dedication to complete each job successfully, my capacity to deliver nothing but high quality translations before the deadline expires, my ability to quickly learn how to use new software when required, handle large projects, and work under pressure; my full-time availability to work weekends and holidays. I am a professional linguist who knows that translating does not mean merely transferring words from one language to another; it has to do with conveying meaning and evoking feelings and emotions within another linguistic and cultural context. I understand the importance of producing a text that must be perceived by the target audience as written in the target language and for said target audience. Likewise, I understand the importance of being faithful to the original author. I have both the knowledge and the tools to give you exactly what you are looking for. Being this said, you are more than welcome to contact me whenever you need a reliable, respectful, and professional freelancer. Thank you for your time! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRANSLATOR'S CV ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FIELDS OF TRANSLATION: * legal translation: agreements, certificates, insurances, company law, complaints, powers of attorney, transcripts, etc. * financial translation: business letters, negotiable instruments, ecommerce, commercial law. * technical/scientific translation: medical and veterinary science, wildlife conservation, oenology, mining, sustainability, renewable energies. * subtitling: transcription, segmentation, translation, syncing, proofreading. * general translation: journalism, tourism, brochures, surveys, educational and training material, administrative and institutional documents, CVs, and résumés.
