 | Sean Mitchell  Business-related translations Mexico Native in English (Variants: US, British)  Freelancer | Message: Hi, I'm a Spanish to English translator from the UK and currently living in Mexico. I have also lived in the US and Spain and am therefore very familiar with the four 'dialects'. My experience is general, some technical IT, some legal, but ...mainly corporate training and newsletters, which often include sections on software development and banking. I also have considerable experience in travel and tourism-related translations.
Saludos,
Sean MitchellMore Less |

| | Mónica Torres Engineer/18 years IT work/Best Spanish Argentina Native in Spanish Freelancer and outsourcer | Bio: I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I have always loved books, since I learn to read, when I was 4 years old. I loved books so, I have read perhaps thousands and I have written quite a bit of lot stories. I liked math, and science, so I studied Electronic Engineering. Th...en I discovered I had a feeling for computers and worked with them for eighteen years. I have spoken English since my childhood, and it was immensely useful in my first degree and the subsequent career. But only in the last twenty years I have read exclusively in English what have been written in English, from Dickens and Connie Willis to scientific articles in several fields (Scientific American level, when the subjects were not physics or IT). When circumstances called for a change of profession, I naturally turn to technical translation, which I have been doing, one way and the other, for years. That was in 2002. Lately, I set to follow the courses for a degree in translation, which I recently finished. I still love books, and science, and computers, and the wonderful sources of information that the IT has given us.More Less Message: I wish I could interact more frequently with people that like Language, and its peculiarities. I hope it will soon be possible for me to do so. In the meantime this is my fist virtual event, and though I will never come to meet personally m...ost of you, it’s nice to meet you here. More Less |
