Brief presentation

As a professional translator, my primary concern is to provide my customers with services tailored to their own needs. Conveying your message in the form of a written document, or performing an interpreting job requires more than simple translation. Indeed, it requires a professional team of communication experts. I am stickler for quality control because I know what a boost a good translation can give your business, and the embarrassment a poor translation can cause. My areas of experience include telecommunications, energy and petroleum, economics and finance, and engineering (mechanical, civil and instrumentation).
Let me provide you with high quality technical and business translations at very competitive prices. You can also request a free brief translation to verify my skills and command, or simply check the translation sample attached. 

Aujourd’hui, le mode globalisé assiste au développement  massif des industries. L’industrie de la traduction n’est pas l’exception. La satisfaction des besoins de communication et d’appui linguistique est à la base du succès de toute société.
Comme traductrice indépendante, je suis toujours concernée par la qualité du service et par les demandes des clients. Je connais très bien le rôle joué par une traduction professionnelle rigoureuse, et l’embarras  dérivé de l’improvisation.
 Veuillez-vous me donner l’occasion de vous rendre un service sérieux visant à satisfaire vos besoins de communications à un taux de rémunération assez raisonnable.

More Info

Work information:
I have got a bachelor degree in Translation and Interpreting (1987) (Universidad Central de Venezuela, a leading university in Venezuela). As a professional translator, I worked for the Ministry of Defense in Venezuela, and then for local branch of KPMG (a multi-national accounting firm). I was responsible for translating accounting and financial statements and literature for foreign clients. I started as a freelancer in 1992, but I have been translating since 1986.

Prospect clients may feel free to request additional information on my job or even request a free translation (max a 3-paragraph text) to check my level of experience and translation skills. Rates are also negotiable based on job volume and frequency. 

Translation sample

“This document briefly describes a Simulator for the Tucano aircraft proposed by TT&S to the Venezuelan Air Force.

This Simulator includes the following features:

- the experience acquired by TT&S in the simulation of fighter (Mirage 2000 family, F18, F16, F15, Mirage F1, Mirage III, Mirage IV, Tornado) and training aircraft (Tucano, MB 339) for several Air Forces throughout the world,
- the cost-effective technology developed by TT&S that permits an excellent realism in the reproduction of the aircraft cockpit and an easy upgrade or reconfiguration of the cockpit to simulate various aircraft versions with the same equipment.

The proposed Simulator permits effective pilot training for IFR y VFR, radionavigation, operation and emergency as well as flight procedures, for both initial and continuation training”.
