Laureana Pavon endorses ProZ.com's Professional Guidelines.

About me

Technical and Engineering translations and website localization, specializing in the production of ready-to-publish documents and multi-language websites.
I graduated as a Public Translator in 1992, and then went on to complete my six-year university degree in Civil Engineering. My first job was as a translator for the Argentine Construction Standards Association and, since then, for the past 17 years I have been providing professional technical translations for government agencies and private companies in South America, the United States and Europe.

I specialize in technical translations and can translate not only the main text but any text that appears in a document. I can provide translated versions of your documents that preserve the original format, including graphics, photographs and schematics.

Technical and Engineering translations have been my core business for over fifteen years: The production of ready-to-print documents is my specialty.

With the popularization of the Internet, website translation and localization seemed to be the natural way to grow as a professional translator. I have now translated/localized several websites which have been very successful in terms of targeting language-specific traffic and helping my customers increase sales and revenue.

I work closely with graphic designers and IT specialists to provide my customers with the best possible product, be it a product manual, a technical standard, promotional material, or a website.
