My Services
Legal Translations
As a certified Legal Translator accredited by the Argentinian authorities, I am qualified to translate, sign, and certify documents through the Colegio de Traductores Públicos de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. This accreditation ensures that my translations meet official legal standards, making them valid for use in Argentina and internationally.
Technical Translations
As a qualified Technical, Scientific, and Literary Translator, I specialize in translating a wide range of technical documents with precision and clarity. My expertise covers manuals, user guides, technical specifications, safety data sheets, research papers, patents, engineering reports, and scientific articles.
Literary & Marketing
With four years of formal education in a Bachelor of Arts program specializing in Literature, Grammar, and Linguistics in Spanish, I bring a nuanced understanding of language to both creative and commercial projects. My experience spans literary works (novels, poetry) and marketing content for the cosmetics, hotel & leisure, and clothing industries.
Game Translations
What began as a serendipitous niche became a passion: game translation. Over two decades collaborating with a leading Korean translation agency, I organically specialized in adapting games for global audiences. This unexpected expertise allows me to preserve immersion, adapt tone, and respect cultural nuances across various game genres.
Medical Translations
Specialized medical translations with precision and attention to terminology. I ensure accurate translations of medical reports, clinical trial documents, pharmaceutical information, and healthcare materials while maintaining strict confidentiality.
Educational Translations
Translated all sorts of school materials for US schools such as calendars, applications, newsletters, performance tasks and reports, etc. I ensure educational content maintains its instructional value while being culturally appropriate for the target audience.
Fair Pricing in the Age of AI Translation
The translation industry is evolving rapidly, and we must all adapt. While AI tools have changed expectations, human expertise remains essential for quality results. I believe in transparent, fair pricing that reflects this new reality - there's no value in pretending nothing has changed or charging excessive rates when clients are aware of technological advances.
Large companies may still require agencies for complex multilingual projects, and certain markets maintain traditional pricing structures. However, for most clients, I offer a better alternative: professional human translation enhanced by technology, delivered directly without agency markups.
How Technology Benefits Your Budget:
- ✓ CAT Tools & AI Assistance: Latest technology ensures consistency and accuracy while reducing costs
- ✓ Efficient Workflows: Tech-enhanced processes mean faster turnarounds without rush fees
- ✓ Direct Collaboration: No middlemen means you pay only for translation, not bureaucracy
- ✓ Volume Savings: Translation memories reduce costs on recurring projects
The result? Premium translations at fair prices that acknowledge today's market realities while delivering the human touch that AI cannot replicate.
