Bio

Greetings!

My name is Robert Long and I am an experienced freelance translator specializing in Latin-based languages. Since 2012, my personal and professional journey has been defined by a strong commitment to consistent quality and meticulous attention to detail. This dedication is aimed at providing substantial value to the companies I work with.

As an American living abroad since 2018, my experiences over the past few years have greatly honed my linguistic abilities while also deepening my understanding of different cultures. Such insights are invaluable in the field of translation.

Over the course of my career, I have skillfully translated over 5 million words across various domains, with a primary focus on legal and marketing content. I am a proficient with Trados and have also worked with a number of proprietary web-based translation tools used by my clients.

Before embarking on this exciting career path, I served as a Project Manager for a successful translation agency in Houston, Texas. This role equipped me with essential industry knowledge and allowed me to develop efficient processes that continue to guide my work as a language service provider today.

Please let me know if you would like additional information or wish for me to complete any test translations. I would love the chance to work together, leveraging my knowledge and experience to provide value and quality to your company.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration.

 

Warm regards,

Robert 



"In a world of machine translations and less than qualified translators, it can be hard to find quality and reliability. Fortunately, Robert Long offers both in not one, but five crucial languages. His attention to detail and commitment to quality are evident no matter the size or complexity of the translation. Not only is he fast, but his translations are solid. For quality and convenience on an affordable budget, Robert long is the way to go!"
