Noemi Carrera

Dear client,

Thank you very much for your interest in my translation and editing services.

My name is Noemí Carrera and I have worked full-time as a technical translator (English/French into Spanish, my native language) near Barcelona (Spain) for the past 9 years.

I take a client-centered approach to translation. This means that you will get exactly what you are looking for: high quality and user-oriented translations (readable and clear). I undertake to provide you with a translation thoroughly researched (correct and consistent use of technical terminology) and to keep a direct contact and constant communication with you to make sure that the final product fulfils your needs.

I offer the best translation tools in the market (Trados, Transit, Deja Vu, Transtool, Idiom WorldServer, among others) and feel at ease working with a variety of file formats (.html, .xml, .doc, PowerPoint, QuarkXpress, Pagemaker, Framemaker, InDesign files, etc.). I guarantee instant communications via e-mail messages and timely deliveries. I can translate an average of 2,500 words and edit 4,000 words approximately per day (depending on the quality of the translation and its subject).

I hold a BA in English Studies, a Master’s Degree in Language Studies and Translation (English, French and Spanish) and a Translation Diploma in English>Spanish, Spanish>English (Cambridge University, England).

I am specialized in the following fields (see detailed information on types of projects and end clients below):

1. IT, Software and Website localisation
2. Technical translations (manuals, hardware, computer, telecommunications, multimedia, electronic devices, navigators, etc.)
3. Printers (both standard and industrial)
4. Automotive (cars, trucks and motorcycles)
5. Marketing

Please contact me if you need references upon my work or wish to receive a quote. I will be happy to complete a short translation test if requested.

Trust your most valuable material to a professional native Spanish translator! Do not put your brand image at stake!
