Most Portuguese translation on the market was written for Brazil. If your readers are in Lisbon or Porto, they clock it immediately: the pronouns, the verb tenses, the word for a mobile phone. I write for them. 10+ years, 2M+ words, 172 jobs at 100% job success. English into European Portuguese. What I take on • Translation and localisation — websites, apps and UI strings, product copy, marketing and business content • Regulated and technical material — financial, legal and compliance documents, contracts, regulatory submissions • Proofreading, editing and post-editing of existing Portuguese • Localization QA and linguistic review against your glossary and style guide How I work Trados Studio, memoQ, Smartcat, Passolo. QA in Xbench and Verifika. I work inside your TM, glossary and style guide rather than around them, and I flag source ambiguity before it turns into a rework ticket. Why Portugal-based matters CET/CEST, so I overlap with your working day rather than catching the end of it. EU invoicing, no paperwork friction. And I live in the market — I know which register reads as official, which reads as stiff, and which reads as machine output nobody checked. Ongoing work with brokers, healthcare groups, insurers and specialised LSPs. Used to confidential, time-sensitive material and to being the last set of eyes before something goes out. Also available for in-country support in Porto: appointment accompaniment, property viewings, and local research for clients who need someone physically here. Send me the file, or one page of it, and I'll tell you what it actually needs before you commit to anything.
