Get impeccable, effective Spanish texts, delivered on time.

You have just received the translation that you asked for. But you feel that it does not project your company’s image. These are very frustrating situations. I’ve experienced them myself. They leave you feeling let down, with hardly any time to react, and with a text that isn’t fit for purpose:

– The translator you hired didn’t follow your instructions
– They did not meet their deadline
– The editor failed to bring up a crucial question about technical terminology

That is why you need a trustworthy, expert professional. Someone with enough experience in the sector to know how to resolve any IT complications that may arise. A specialist with the skills to offer you decisive guidance, and who can justify every decision they make, on linguistic grounds. You need a linguist who understands that every decision matters, and who can empathise with you, be available to assist you and put themselves in your place.

Enjoy the peace of mind of a job well done.

Save time in a smooth process and exceed your expectations.

I’m Marián and I translate from German and English into Spanish. I’m an expert in text quality control. I help project managers and small European companies exceed the expectations of their customers, by providing high-quality, effective Spanish texts, on time.
