I worked at a freelance agency handling documents for multinational clients.

Translate technical manuals and marketing brochures between English, Spanish, and French.

I built a personal glossary for each language pair, consulted native speakers for nuanced terms, and used memoQ to maintain consistency.

Delivered over 200 pages per month with a 98% client satisfaction rate and repeat business from three major clients.

Growing up in a bilingual household, I constantly switched between languages.

I wanted to turn this natural skill into a professional career that bridges cultures.

I pursued a degree in Translation Studies, completed internships with NGOs, and earned certification in CAT tools.

Since graduation, I’ve helped NGOs reach new audiences, increasing their outreach by 30% through accurate translations.

While translating a 500‑page software user guide for a tech client, consistency was critical.

Maintain uniform terminology for UI elements and technical terms throughout the document.

I created a termbase in SDL Trados, imported it into memoQ, and set up automatic term verification. I also conducted weekly QA checks with a second linguist.

The final deliverable had zero terminology errors, and the client reported a 20% reduction in support tickets related to documentation.

A marketing agency needed a 30‑page brochure translated into three languages within 48 hours.

Deliver high‑quality translations on time for all three language versions.

I prioritized sections, used pre‑approved glossaries, leveraged machine translation post‑editing for speed, and scheduled parallel reviews with native speakers.

All versions were delivered on schedule with client approval and no reported errors, leading to a follow‑up contract for future projects.

I led a multilingual rollout of a financial report for a European bank, involving English, German, French, and Italian versions.

Coordinate translators, reviewers, and the client’s compliance team to ensure accurate, legally compliant translations within six weeks.

I set up a shared project portal, defined clear milestones, assigned language leads, conducted weekly status calls, and implemented a centralized QA workflow using Xbench.

The project was completed two days early, with zero compliance issues, and the client praised the seamless coordination, resulting in a 15% increase in future project volume.

The translation field evolves rapidly with new CAT tools and AI models.

Continuously improve my skill set to remain competitive.

I subscribe to industry newsletters (Slator, Multilingual), attend webinars from TAUS, complete annual certifications for memoQ and SDL Trados, and experiment with emerging AI translators in a sandbox environment.

Implemented AI‑assisted post‑editing in my workflow, cutting turnaround time by 25% while maintaining quality, which I highlighted in client proposals.

A marketing agency felt the Spanish copy sounded too formal for their youthful audience.

Adjust the translation to match the brand's casual tone while preserving meaning.

I scheduled a call with the client to clarify tone expectations, reviewed the brand voice guide, re‑translated the key sections using more colloquial language, and performed a peer review with a native‑speaker copywriter.

The revised copy received client approval within 24 hours and contributed to a 12% increase in campaign engagement.

I was assigned both a contract agreement and a product brochure for the same client.

Deliver accurate, context‑appropriate translations for two very different genres.

For the legal contract, I used a specialized legal termbase, adhered strictly to source‑text fidelity, and performed a double‑blind review. For the brochure, I focused on persuasive language, consulted the brand style guide, and employed creative localization techniques while still using the termbase for any technical terms.

The contract was accepted without amendment, and the brochure resonated with the target market, increasing product inquiries by 18%.
