Professional translator

I started my career 21 years ago as in-house translator and PM at a translation agency based in Turin, Italy. After three years, I decided to take up the challenge and become a freelancer, in order to devote myself to those texts I was most interested in. My experience as PM gave me a deep insight into all aspects related to the translation process, thus I perfectly know and understand the needs and expectations of Project Managers whom I work with. I am able to work under pressure, and manage large volumes of work with no prejudice to quality. I am able to translate very technical texts, like instruction manuals for X-ray inspection systems, but also to use my creative side to produce translations of content marketing articles.

As an English to Italian ProZ.com Certified PRO Network gaming, technical, and marketing translator (EN 15038) and Italian native speaker, I have been translating on a volunteer basis since 2012 (working on big projects since 2016) and professionally since 2020. I have experience in handling localization processes as a whole for text-heavy video games, as a translator (transcreation, proofreading, photo editing), LQE specialist, LQA tester, and localization project manager (file preparation, regex tagging, developer relations). 2,500,000 words translated, with a daily output of 4,500 words.

I have been working in the translation industry for almost 18 years, dealing with translation agencies and direct clients alike. My keywords are availability, flexibility and quality. I am always available for my clients and I am extremely flexible in terms of deadlines. All this, of course, without compromises as far as quality is concerned. I offer the following services: translation, proofreading, editing, DTP, transcription, localization, mobile apps, websites and e-commerce translation + localization. My rates are totally flexible, because i think that every project is unique, therefore I will be delighted to send you a customized quote upon request. I am EU VAT registered, which is a proof of my commitment and my professionalism. CAT LITERATE, which means more accurate quotes which take into account repetitions and fuzzy matches.
