Source text - English MOBY DICK by Herman Melville (1849)
I was thinking of that; and when that servant came, as he did, with the mattress, and threw it on the floor, I saw the object of his errand. He took the mattress out of the state-room, and ere long I heard him unrolling it in the main-top. Soon after, the mate came down, and said, "D'ye hear, Ishmael? the captain has given the order to shorten sail, and to send the main-top-sail down. I want you to go aloft, and secure it, and then come down." I did so. As I was going up the rigging, to my surprise I saw Queequeg there, quietly unrolling the mattress. "What's that for, Queequeg?" "For you, shipmate," he replied. "I thought you wouldn't like to stay in the forecastle, after you had been in my state-room; so I took the mattress from your room, and brought it here." I felt very grateful for this kindness. It was a great relief to my mind. I had been uneasy about that state-room; I thought it would be too solitary for me. I was glad to have Queequeg's company. So we spread the mattress on the deck, and laid ourselves down to rest. The night was very warm; the air was like a blanket. I could not sleep; I lay awake, thinking of the strange things that had happened. I thought of the captain, and his ivory leg, and his wild craziness. I thought of the white whale, and the vengeance he was seeking. I thought of Queequeg, and his grotesque figure, and his gentle heart. And as I lay there, I felt a strange sort of peace come over me. It was not the peace of a calm sea, but the peace of a man who has accepted his fate. I was going to sea on a whaling voyage, and there was no turning back. I was in the hands of fate, and I was content to be so.
Translation - Portuguese MOBY DICK de Herman Melville (1849)
Estava pensando justamente nisso quando o criado chegou com o colchão e o atirou no soalho. Vi então por que viera. Ele tirou o colchão da câmara, e não tardou que eu o ouvisse desenrolá-lo na gávea do mastro principal. Logo depois, o imediato desceu e me disse: "Está ouvindo, Ismael? O capitão deu ordem de reduzir as velas e descer a vela de gávea. Quero que você suba lá em cima, prenda-a e depois desça." Obedeci. Subindo pela enxárcia, vi, para minha surpresa, Queequeg desenrolando o colchão calmamente. "Pra quê isso, Queequeg?" "Para você, companheiro", ele respondeu. "Achei que não ia gostar de ficar no castelo da proa, depois de ter estado na minha câmara; então tirei o colchão do seu quarto e o trouxe para cá." Fiquei muito grato por tamanha gentileza. Foi um grande alívio para o meu espírito. Andava inquieto por causa daquela câmara; pensava que fosse solitária demais para mim. Fiquei contente com a companhia de Queequeg. Estendemos o colchão no tombadilho e nos deitamos para descansar. A noite estava muito quente; o ar parecia um cobertor. Não consegui dormir; fiquei acordado, pensando nas coisas estranhas que tinham acontecido. Pensei no capitão, na sua perna de marfim e na sua loucura selvagem. Pensei na baleia branca, na vingança que ele buscava. Pensei em Queequeg, na sua figura grotesca e no seu coração bondoso. E enquanto eu jazia ali, senti uma estranha sensação de paz me envolver. Não era a paz de um mar calmo, mas a paz de um homem que aceitou o seu destino. Eu ia para o mar numa viagem baleeira, e não havia como voltar atrás. Estava nas mãos do destino e me sentia contente com isso.

Bio
English ⇄ Brazilian Portuguese Translator & Localization Specialist | Lawyer–Linguist
I work at the intersection of legal reasoning, linguistic precision and editorial judgment. My background in legal practice informs how I read complex texts, research terminology and assess the implications of a translation choice.
A native speaker of Brazilian Portuguese, I translate between English and Brazilian Portuguese, with a focus on:
• legal translation
• game Localization
• software localization
• editorial
• literary translation.
I also provide revision, proofreading, linguistic quality assurance (LQA) and machine translation post-editing (MTPE).
Legal Translation
Contracts, corporate documents, compliance materials and legal correspondence, with careful attention to terminology, structure and meaning within the relevant legal context.
Game & Software Localization
Dialogue, narrative content and interface strings, balancing voice and cultural nuance with terminology, character limits and functional requirements. My contributions include Microsoft MakeCode, Foundation and One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3.
Editorial & Literary Translation
Translation attentive to authorial voice, rhythm and register, preserving the character of the original while producing natural, engaging prose for a new readership.
Revision, Linguistic QA & MTPE
Review for accuracy, clarity, consistency and contextual appropriateness, with attention to both the source text and the intended use of the translation.
Across these areas, I research uncertain terms, flag ambiguities and propose solutions grounded in context. My approach is guided by the purpose of the text, its audience and the choices that allow it to read naturally while remaining precise.
Tools & Professional Materials
I work with Trados Studio, Crowdin, Smartcat and MateCat.
My website brings together translation samples, my Capability Statement, résumé and Translation Decisions: How I Think, an editorial reflection on the reasoning behind my translation choices. A reference letter from the Micro:bit Educational Foundation is also available upon request.
