EXPERIENCE:
Freelance Spanish Translator and Localiser
With over 20 years of experience as an English-to-Spanish translator and localisation specialist, I help brands communicate naturally and effectively with audiences in Spain.
My expertise covers translation, localisation, transcreation, SEO, copywriting and content creation, with particular experience in marketing, cosmetics and beauty, fashion, luxury and lifestyle, travel and tourism, software and websites, e-learning, audiovisual content and game localisation.
I have worked on a wide range of websites, marketing campaigns and digital content, combining linguistic expertise with a strong understanding of cultural nuances, brand voice and the needs of the target audience. I also have a background in digital marketing and SEO, allowing me to create Spanish content that is not only accurate and engaging but also tailored to its commercial and digital context.
I have got years of experience adapting successful campaigns and content for companies such as Sony, H&M, Harrods, Nintendo, Kellogg's, lululemon, Karl Lagerfeld and Cointreau.
My excellent degree of creativity will ensure your project reads natural and is engaging appropriate for the intended target audience. From travel guides to clothing websites, software manuals to e-learning modules, they won’t even know it’s a translation!
