Translation
I love languages. I love translating. I relish the challenges modern translation presents and will provide you with high-quality documents that perfectly capture the meanings in translations between Spanish and English. Though now based in Maine, I grew up in England and am fully aware of the linguistic subtleties involved in both US and Anglo variations, the same goes for Castillian Spanish and Mexican Spanish, having lived in Spain for 2 years and Guadalajara for three.
I have a degree in Hispanic Studies from the University of Wales, Swansea. As a translator and editor, I specialize and specialise in the following subjects:
- Many of my clients have asked me where they can find a bilingual web designer, now I mention AgaveWeb and your total professionalism! - Jaime MelendezWeb sites
- Computing
- Film making / scripts / screenplays / fiction
- Photography
- Technical Writing/ Manuals
- Education / Academic writing, specifically Social Science and Agriculture
When you put this together with my web design skill set you’ll see I’m uniquely placed to handle Spanish-English bilingual web site design.
Recent clients include Hitachi, Jasper, The University of Guadalajara, and IHP (International Health Program).
PRICES
The translation price depends on the complexity of the document and the format it arrives in. I normally charge between $0.075 – $0.12 per word depending on the quantity, time frame, linguistic level and language pairing. When I receive the document to be translated, I will calculate the total price and reply immediately.
SENDING & RECEIVING WORK
I can send and receive documents in most formats (doc, docx, ppt, rtf, pdf, txt, html, xml, etc.). If you require more information or a quote, please contact me using this form, don’t forget to send the file with it:
If you require a quote for a web site, please e-mail me the web site address and specify whether you just want a translation or if you would like me to handle the entire process of localizing your site and providing a Spanish (or English) parallel site.
PAYMENT
The quickest and most convenient way to pay is by credit card. I accept payments by check, PayPal and also through bank transfer or money orders. We’ll sort something out. For translations above $100 I require an upfront payment of 50% of the total.
