As a native English speaker born and brought up in the UK, it makes sense for me to focus on translating into English. Having lived in Costa Rica for over 10 years and with a Colombian wife my Spanish is fluent. I speak, listen, read and write at the level of a native Spanish speaker. My two formal qualifications are:
- A diploma in advanced Spanish from the Instituto de Cervantes
- A post-graduate certificate in translation from City, University of London
I have completed translations in a variety of subject matters and for a variety of different target audiences. These include:
- An architectural prospectus for a new university campus in Vienna, Austria
- A speech to the United Nations by the Costa Rican president, Luis Guillermo Solis
- News items for CentralAmericaData.com
- Banking and legal documents for HSBC
- Articles for the Colombia Solidarity Campaign in London
- University theses
Expect my translation of your Spanish text to sound 100% natural. It should have the same impact on a native-English-speaking reader as your original would have on a Colombian, Costa Rican or other member of the Spanish speaking world.
