I'm a highly specialised technical and scientific translator and interpreter.
I’m certified as a translator by the Chartered Institute of Linguists (DipTransIoLET, technology and science options). I also have a BSc and MSc in Physics and have undertaken several postgraduate courses in manufacturing.
Prior to becoming a translator, I worked for more than 15 years as an engineer and manager in well-known technical companies; five of these years were in the United Kingdom. I have also carried out short research projects in Germany (in German) and worked as an engineer in French.
I pride myself on providing translations that are not only accurate in terms of meaning and the terminology used, but which also read as though they were written originally in Spanish by a specialist. This is only possible because I truly understand the subject.
For each translation, I spend hours reading about the field and researching the right terminology to use until I’m completely satisfied with the translated text. Of course, I will also refer to the glossaries, style guides and previously translated documents you provide.
I have extensive training in consecutive interpreting and therefore offer liaison/consecutive interpreting services for audits, training sessions, visits to trade fairs, or meetings with suppliers or clients.
Examples of previous projects:
• External translator for the Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol (United Nations) since 2019.
• Interpreter for an eight-day audit in a Spanish nuclear power plant (areas: engineering, electrical equipment, risk management and nuclear physics).
• Consecutive interpreter during a machinery and software training session in the pharmaceutical sector.
• Translation of three school mathematics textbooks for the prestigious publishing house Vicens Vives and one university-level Lineal Algebra book for the author.
• Translation of several brochures, press releases and website content related to 3D printing, machining, measurement equipment, sensors, etc. for the technology company Renishaw.
• Online course on the risks associated with power plants, and review of two EPRI cycle chemistry guidelines for fossil plants.
