@luanyvidal
Dedicated translator specializing in English to Portuguese translations.
What I'm looking for
As a passionate translator with extensive experience in English to Portuguese translations, I have dedicated my career to bridging language barriers, particularly in the health and entertainment sectors. My journey began with a Bachelor's degree in Pharmacy, which has equipped me with a strong understanding of scientific terminology, allowing me to effectively translate complex scientific articles for educators and students alike.
Throughout my career, I have volunteered as a translator for various organizations, including Cochrane Brazil, where I translated and reviewed abstracts for publication in the Cochrane Library. My commitment to quality and accuracy is evident in my work with Rakuten Viki, where I have contributed over 400,000 subtitles, enhancing accessibility for Portuguese-speaking audiences. Currently, I work with multiple media companies, translating dramas and projects, and I also serve as an editor for Caligrama Editorial, ensuring the quality of Japanese animations.
