I take every translation project very seriously! That means working with me might take a bit longer than the fast-turnaround promises you see elsewhere. But let’s be honest: good translation can’t be rushed. Your words are important, and I treat them with the same care and attention you put into creating them.
Here’s what working with me looks like:
1. Initial Consultation – We’ll chat by email or phone so I can understand the details of your project: topic, length, audience, and your deadline.
2. Quote & Contract – I review your files and reference materials (style guides, glossaries, website links, etc.) and send you a quote. Once you say “yes,” I’ll send you a personalized e-contract to sign.
3. Research & Evaluation – I dig into your existing marketing materials and your business goals to make sure your Spanish translations capture the right tone, style, and messaging.
4. Translation & Editing – Here’s where the magic happens! I craft translations that bring your text to life in Spanish. Drawing on my experience in localization and transcreation, I ask questions, follow your style guides, and ensure your message resonates with your Latino audience. Then, I edit and proofread everything before delivery.
5. Invoice & Delivery – You’ll get the final translation (in your original format, or a format that works best) via email, along with an invoice and an easy link to pay.
Website Localization Bonus: I double-check your Spanish copy on your live website to make sure everything fits perfectly—titles, links, verb tenses, you name it. This is included in my fees at no extra cost.
