S Pelaez
Extensive work translating (English to Spanish and Spanish to English) documents for multi-national corporations for over 4 years. Industry sectors include airlines, automotive, logistics, food, spirits, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, IT, e-commerce, internet, petroleum, computer hardware, personal resumes, web sites. I have experience translating documents for several multi-national corporations including Nestle, Diageo, Merck, Sun Microsystems, IBM, Yazaki, I am an independent translator. I work on translations full time from my home, where I have a high-speed Internet connection. Unlike other translators that learned their Spanish in the Caribbean or Central America... my Spanish is from Bogota, Colombia, widely considered one of the purest forms of Spanish, not just because of the neutral accent but also for correct word usage. I have zero tolerance for typos and I take the time to make sure that sentences are perfectly understandable without ambiguity. I make sure my jobs are delivered on time and are can be universally understood by Spanish speakers anywhere. I guarantee that you will receive top-notch work.

Throughout my long teaching career, particularly as a high-profile Head of a Modern Languages Department, I have been fanatical about grammatical and spelling accuracy. I am an avid reader (1 book a week on average, alternating between French and English) of contemporary fiction, autobiographies, political memoirs and history and keep up with French current affairs both on the net and by listening to French radio. This, combined with my frequent visits to my home country, has made me become very aware of linguistic trends and gives me the edge when it comes to choosing the appropriate register/terminology when translating a text. I ALWAYS meet deadlines, in fact usually complete all projects with ample time to spare. All I ask of potential clients is to be given the chance to do a test piece, those who do so usually pick me!
