About

I'm Francesca Rago, an Italian freelance translator, proofreader and linguist with more than 15 years of experience. I've studied linguistics and translation at the University of Pisa and Cambridge and I'm certified by the Trinity College's english for foreign speakers exam. I translate from English, German, French, Portuguese and Chinese. I’ve worked, among others, as a web content translator for LAGO s.p.a, a well known Italian designer furniture company. I’m specialized in legal, editorial, technical, commercial translations, IT, apps, games, SEO translations and copywriting, subtitling and proofreading.I'm reliable, patient, creative, professional and organized. I'm a big fan of literature, design, music, technology, internet, e-commerce and tech blogs. Over the years, I've done a vast range of projects, including website localization, software localization, NLU annotation, search engine evaluation. I'm passionate for languages, semantics, syntax, computational linguistics, I’m quite oriented to details and eager to learn new skills.
