Bio
My vision:
ALTIRO Translations - The word "altiro" in Spanish (Chile) means "right away" or "at your service." There are many different tales regarding its origins, but the literal meaning translates to "at the shot of a gun." I first encountered this word while teaching English to children in a small Chilean valley. According to local lore, field workers were notified by a gunshot that it was time for lunch, and they would come in a hurry to get a meal. My vision is to provide quality translations from Spanish into English with style, cultural relevance, promptness, and at an affordable price.
