@paulahernandez1
Experienced EN-ES translator specializing in technical, medical, financial, and localization projects.
What I'm looking for
I am a professional English–Spanish–Catalan translator with over two decades of experience delivering technical localization, medical and patent translation, financial documentation, and software and user-guide localization. As a longtime freelance translator and in-house contributor, I pair linguistic precision with cultural sensitivity to support international clients and complex subject matter.
I have worked with companies and agencies on long-term projects (including Ivanti and SeproTec) and offer beta reading for indie authors in romance and fantasy. My background includes academic research and specialized training in translation, enabling me to manage revision, localization, and cross-lingual quality assurance effectively.
