About

My name is Andrea Marchiaro, and I’m a technical English to Spanish translator. I'm a highly motivated self-starter with over 6 years of practical hands-on experience in translation, subtitling, and proofreading at various companies. Well-versed with tools such as MemoQ, Trados, AutoCAD, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Microsoft Office, Subtitle Edit, etc. Always learning valuable skills to stay educated about industry trends while adapting to new technology quickly and independently. As a full-time translator and engineer; I have accumulated a wealth of knowledge on how to provide an extreme level of customer satisfaction and relentlessly pursue quality in every dimension! I strongly believe that actions speak louder than words and actively walk the talk on a daily basis. I love building new professional relationships so feel free to reach out and contact me.

I translate from English-Spanish, adhering to the author’s original message, sense, and style to the greatest extent possible: doing the necessary research before undertaking new projects in order to have a better understanding of the message’s context, keeping cultural aspects of the target language in mind, using specialized tools, such as computer-assisted translation (CAT) software, in order to maximize efficiency, proofreading and correcting all pieces and already translated material, guaranteeing it’s error-free, reviewing the technical accuracy and logical structure of the document, modifying and editing the material according to the client or Editor’s feedback, and submitting final product within the pre-established deadline.
