You have done a fantastic job, and I could not have done this without you. Thank you so much for your flexibility, your dedication and your hard work. I look forward to working with you on the next project and I just wanted to let you know how much your efforts are appreciated. Enrique Rosado, Project Manager [at the end of a major six month project] and I have been impressed by how knowledgeable she is and how committed she is in everything she does, from translation to review and testing. Working with her as a fellow translator and thanks to her numerous tips I have been able to learn loads on the localisation process. I really do not know how I would have done without her...
