Hi, I'm Giorgia, a native Italian translator and audiovisual localization specialist with a Master's degree in Modern Languages and Translation, specializing in Audiovisual Translation and Localization. I help companies, content creators, and localization teams deliver natural, accurate, and culturally relevant Italian content through translation, localization, subtitling, MTPE, AI dubbing adaptation, and linguistic quality assurance. My experience includes subtitle translation and localization, Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE) for audiovisual content, content adaptation for AI-assisted dubbing, proofreading, quality control (QC), and linguistic quality assurance (LQA). I have worked on a wide range of audiovisual projects, including documentaries, short films, interviews, corporate and medical videos, TV series, educational content, and advertising materials. I’m especially drawn to audiovisual and creative content, but as a curious person with an ever-growing list of interests and a mild perfectionism problem, I'm eager to take on new challenges, including more technical or complex projects. If you're looking for someone reliable, adaptable, and with a keen eye for detail, I'd love to collaborate!

Hi! I’m Valeria, a multilingual localization and proofreading specialist with 5+ years of experience helping businesses communicate clearly and naturally across languages. I’m a native Romanian and Italian speaker, fluent in English, with strong French skills. My main strengths are translation, localization, copy adaptation, proofreading, and editing. I don’t believe in word-for-word translation, I focus on making content sound natural, culturally appropriate, and right for the target audience. I’ve worked on everything from marketing campaigns and website content to AI/data projects, including proofreading thousands of sentences and localizing large campaigns from English into both Romanian and Italian. I’m highly detail-oriented and organized, comfortable handling large volumes of work, and good at following detailed instructions while also researching independently when needed. Clients can also count on me for quick communication, consistency, and reliable deadlines. I enjoy working with e-commerce businesses, SaaS and tech companies, AI/data projects, startups, and entrepreneurs, especially when I can combine language skills with a practical, problem-solving approach. If you need someone who is reliable, detail-oriented, easy to communicate with, and genuinely cares about the quality of the final result, I’d love to work with you!
