Bio

Dear Fellow Linguist.

I am a full-time freelance Translator, Revisor, Editor/Proofreader, Copywriter and Content Writer!

Qualified as a software engineer (programmer) and IT specialist, I made a permanent career move into languages after moving to Brazil in 2002.

I did my first paid translation work in 2003 and have been a fully paid-up member of Proz.com since August 2006. That is two decades of linguistic experience!

As a translator I work with SDL TRADOS STUDIO, memoQ, Translation Workspace and most online translation tools and services.

Hopefully, as an experienced native speaker of English, you feel safe in my hands?

My services include:

> TRANSLATION
Portuguese and Spanish into English (US and UK).

REVISION
Also, Portuguese and Spanish into English (US and UK).

> EDITING/PROOFREADING of English composition for native and non-native English speakers.
I worked for two years as a risk report editor for an insurance company, which heightened my linguistic standards to a very high corporate level.

> COPYWRITING and CONTENT WRITING
I have branched out into copywriting and now write my own material. Made-to-measure articles are structured in a direct and specific way. It is necessary to ask questions, give useful advice and assure readers that you have the answers. Search engine optimization (SEO) is also an important skill, with articles structured this way.

I also work in other linguistic areas such as transcription and subtitling.

Experience is something that accumulates over time and there are very few shortcuts.

Rates are negotiable!


All The Best,
Richard.
