Currently, RAR is one of the most popular formats used to compress any data: documents, audio, video, etc. Archives are usually used in two cases: to store information that is not needed so far and to transfer information via open communications channels. In both cases there is a risk of corrupting the compressed file. After that it will be impossible to open it and, therefore, extract information from it. There may be various reasons why an archive becomes corrupted. If the compressed file is stored on the hard drive, the problem may be caused by failures in the operating system or software, hardware failures, power failures, etc. However, an archive is most likely to be corrupted when you carry it on removable media (CDs and DVDs, floppy disks, ZIP drives, etc.), download it from the Internet or transfer it via e-mail. In these cases, the risk of getting an incorrect compressed file is relatively large. | Translation - Portuguese
Atualmente, RAR é um dos formatos mais populares utilizado para comprimir qualquer dado: documentos, áudio, vídeo, etc. Arquivos comprimidos são geralmente utilizados em dois casos: para armazenar informação que, até o momento, não é necessária e para transferir informação através de canais de comunicação aberta. Em ambos os casos existe o risco do arquivo comprimido ser danificado. Depois disso, será impossível abri-lo e, então, extrair informação do mesmo. Podem haver várias razões pelas quais um arquivo seja corrompido. Caso o arquivo comprimido esteja armazenado no disco rígido, o problema pode ter sido causado por falhas no sistema operacional ou software, falhas de hardware, falha elétrica, etc. Entretanto, um arquivo comprimido está muito mais propício a ser corrompido quando você o carrega em uma mídia removível (CDs e DVDs, disquetes, ZIP drives, etc.), faz download através da internet ou transferência via e-mail. Nesses casos, o risco de se conseguir um arquivo comprimido com falhas é relativamente alto. |

Professional Background
I have worked in many different areas. From 1999 to 2007 I worked as an English teacher, a bilingual attendant, an administrative assistant and, of course, as a Translator/Interpreter. Nowadays, I am working as a freelance translator/interpreter and as a management assistant in a cement factory.
EN<>PT(BR) Translator
I have translated, edited, localized, transcribed and proofread several types of documents, such as: manuals, abstracts, articles, literary texts, technical documents, certificates, researches, contracts, reports, menus, folders, curriculums, SEO, Adwords, websites, e-mails, presentations and movies.
These jobs were done for different companies/clients, among them:
Holcim Brasil S.A.
Triumph International
Geokinetics Inc.
BHP Billiton Brasil
Voice Brazil Versão Brasileira
In 2004, I worked as a voluntary interpreter for Rotary Club in Mariana (M.G.), with ophthalmologists that came to Brazil to help poor communities.
I have also worked as an interpreter in meetings.
Additional Information
While I was at the University, I took part in some research projects related to English and Brazilian Portuguese phonetics.
I have helped to localize the ProZ.com website into Portuguese (BR) and I am also a ProZ.com Moderator.
I presented the paper/poster "The Translator/Reviser Relationship: What are its effects on the final translation?" on the 10th Brazilian Translation Forum and 4th International Translation Forum, that happened from September 7th to 10th, in Ouro Preto (MG - Brazil).
I am extremely organized, detail-oriented, communicative and dedicated.
I don't mind working on weekends and holidays.
I accept Paypal and Moneybookers.
For further information, please contact me via e-mail or ProZ.com IM.
I am looking forward to working with/for you. :))
