Experience
Years of experience: 37. Registered at ProZ.com: Dec 2006.
From 1987 to 1999, I worked on language learning and translation of Scripture for a remote tribal group (the Ixil people of Chajul) in northern Guatemala. During that time, I also completed several publications of Scripture and health-related booklets. I also contributed toward the completion and publication of a 3,000 word Ixil-Spanish, Spanish-Ixil dictionary and grammar.
Since February, 2006 I have been working part-time as a freelance translator of mostly adoption-related documents (adoption and abandonment decrees, medical, nutritional and psychological evaluations, etc.) from Spanish into English. I have also translated a few informational items for tourists from English to Spanish.
I am open to translating other types of material as well.
I can provide excellent references!
About my rates: It really depends on the material to be translated. Six cents / word minimum for Spanish to English, non-technical material and 8 cents / word minimum for for Spanish to English, technical material. For English to Spanish: six cents / word for non-technical and 10 cents / word for technical material.
I would love to be able to serve you at a reasonable price. Please contact me and let's talk!!
