Hello! I am a half-American native Brazilian EN-PT(BR) and PT-ENG translator/proof-reader. Having grown up in an English speaking household and later lived with my family for years in the United States, I am thoroughly familiar with the subtleties and intricacies of the English language. Only a person who has fully experienced both languages firsthand is able to successfully convey, with complete cultural authenticity and linguistic integrity, the meaning of what is being said. I have translated, transcribed and proof-read as a favor to friends and as a hobby countless times throughout my life. I have experience as a freelance translator and am currently working with Lingotek. I am very dedicated and passionate about my work, and as such I am wholly committed to providing a translation of the highest possible quality. I am more than willing to prove my proficiency through any tests you would like me to take. If you would like some samples of my work, please contact me.
My rates usually range from US$0.04 (e.g. a list of very simple, non-technical words such as "Next", "Continue", "I accept") to US$0.09 (e.g. a highly technical text where a lot of research is required) per word, depending on the complexity, the size of the project, the amount of research needed and my availability. My standard rate for non-technical projects such as yours is of US$0.05 per word, for a total of US$250.00. Being a very fast typist, I normally output from 600 to 1500 words per hour. My CAT Tool of choice is SDL Trados Studio 2009. I look forward to working with you!
Best regards,
José Guedes
