Fabián Vega
@fabianvega
Experienced linguist specializing in Spanish content engagement.
What I'm looking for
I am a linguist with 8 years of experience dedicated to helping brands connect with Spanish-speaking audiences across Latin America. My expertise lies in the English to Spanish language pair, where I specialize in marketing translation, transcreation, copyediting, localization, proofreading, and machine translation post-editing. As a native Spanish speaker fluent in English, I am committed to delivering content that is not only accurate but also culturally aligned, ensuring it resonates with the intended audience.
In addition to my translation work, I have a passion for music and continue to engage in freelance projects related to the music industry. My experience includes conducting bilingual tours in Bogota, where I focus on arts and culture, and providing consultancy for emerging musicians. I have also contributed to notable platforms like Apple Music, where I localized playlist descriptions for their launch. My diverse background allows me to bring a unique perspective to my work, blending language skills with cultural insights.
