We are native speakers of Brazilian Portuguese with almost 10 years of experience as freelance translators, always trying to reach the high standards set by our clients that continually test and evaluate us to provide a rigorous feedback on the quality of our work.
Before translation actually begins, we work gathering reference materials (style guides, translation memories, dictionaries, grammars, etc.) and reading specific instructions. These conventions for source and target languages are a key to ensuring translation consistency and to harmonize standards.
We are experienced translators and know how to manage our workload and our schedules. We also have the wisdom to raise the right translation-specific questions early enough in the process to allow time for corrections and editing.
We consider translation an art that demands a strong balance of linguistic and technical skills.
