Bio

I am a native Portuguese translator, with a PhD in Physics, and I am doing translation of technical documents and user manuals since 2008 for the following language pairs:

from English/ German to Portuguese

I have a PhD in Physics and after working for around 6 years as a researcher at a renowned European research institute (CERN, in Switzerland) I have decided to combine my technical/scientific background with my languages knowledge. What at first was only an additional occupation turned out to become, after a while, my main professional activity. I have realized that through the translation of technical documents I can still be in touch with technological developments and research and combine these with my passion for languages. Later on, while already living in Germany (since 2005) I have decided to go back to school to learn German and in 2011 included this language on my translation services. In 2014, I have made an important investment on the
quality and reliability of my translations: I acquired
SDL Trados and
attended several training courses. In 2022 I moved forward and also acquired
MemoQ.

Due to my educational/professional background I have specialized in technical translations, such as technical documents, patents and user manuals, related with engineering, technology and industry, within a large variety of applications (machinery, wind energy, appliances, lasers, semiconductors industry, automotive industry, etc.). Among others, I have translated technical documents (from English and German into Portuguese) for the Jensen Group, Synova S.A., hhs Baumer Group, ITM Group, IPAC, Knauf Engineering, Enercon and BMW Group.

My professional experience as a researcher enables me also to undertake a precise and sound research for the correct terms translation, which together with a solid technical/scientific background leads to a reliable and high quality technical translation.

My working programs are SDL Trados Studio 2021, MemoQ, MS-Office (Word, Excel, Power Point), Adobe and LaTex.

Payments can be made via PayPal or Wire Transfer.
