I am a native Portuguese speaker from Brazil, but also a high skilled English speaker. I hold a bachelor's degree in translation and interpreting (English-Portuguese) and I have over fourteen years of experience as a translator, interpreter and proofreader with some work experience in the USA. I have excellent references, in case of need. I graduated in translation and interpreting from the Methodist University of São Paulo; it is a four-year major recognized by the American Translators Association. At college, I had the opportunity to learn a lot about English, Portuguese and translation itself. I have been translating and proofreading texts for apps, games, websites of many different kinds and legal documents. I also work with subtitling and phonetic transcription. In terms of interpreting, I have dealt with simultaneous, consecutive, intermittent, dialogue (liaison) and over-the-phone interpreting. I can provide you with references for any of the services aforementioned. I am a detail-oriented professional who always works focusing on the best quality possible. Please feel free to contact me and I will be glad to discuss any further details.

**NO AI-GENERATED CONTENT -- 100% HUMAN WORK** ✩ I truly believe that AI-Generated content will not replace human work. AI Tools for generating texts use a model called "Generative Pre-trained Transformer", which reproduces content that was already generated without any critical analysis. From now on, web will be flooded with inaccurate content generated by AI, which will be used as a basis for more AI content, and so on. Human creativity and originality is (still) not replaceable, and all my texts are written by me, without the help of any AI or machine translators. ✩ Reliable, professional, and efficient work: My main concern is to satisfy my clients' demands and, whenever possible, exceed their expectations. I never miss a deadline nor any instructions or requirements. ✩ Fair rates and clear workload: I offer you excellent cost-benefit and price-performance ratios. That means I take my working hours seriously and each dollar you pay me will be worth it. ✩ More than 10 years of experience in translating various kinds of documents: Ads, Brochures, Restaurant Menus, Social Media Posts, Contracts and Agreements, Mobile Apps, Visual Interfaces, Blog Articles, Academic Papers, among other text genres. ✩ 15 years of experience in Marketing and Advertising: Besides being my area of study, I have previously worked for JWT Brazil, a multinational advertising agency where I served global clients such as Nestlé and Shell. During the last years, as a freelance copywriter, I have written about Technology, Traveling, Finances, Games, Gambling, Foreign and National Politics, Social Movements, Anthropology, Education, Languages Learning/Teaching, among other subjects. I am also very familiar with SEO-oriented texts. -- -- -- -- Here is a summary of my previous professional experiences: In 2009, I went to live in Buenos Aires (Argentina) for some time. There, for almost one year I worked in Teleperformance for Sony Vaio's remote support, answering worldwide customers phone calls in English, Portuguese and Spanish; In 2010, back to São Paulo, I got a job in Bayer's Consumer Care division as a Marketing Assistant. I worked there for 2 years with Consumer Care division's products (Aspirin, Canesten, Gyno-Canesten, Redoxon, Bepantol, among others); In 2011, I decided to move into the Propaganda's world, being hired by JWT Brasil (a multinational advertising agency). There, I was an Account Assistant, part of Nestlé's team (we managed Kit Kat and all Nestlé's chocolates accounts, among other Medical Nutrition products); By the end of 2013, I moved to México City to study for a Master's Degree in Communication & Politics, which I haven't finished. I have lived there for almost three years and I am working as a freelance translator and copywriter since then.

How to Hire Top Portuguese-to-English Translators

What is a Portuguese-to-English translator?

Working with clients and customers in Brazil often requires having access to someone who is skilled in Portuguese-to-English translation. There are many ways language translation services can be useful for your organization, whether it’s transcription services, translation of legal documents, or direct verbal translation.

How do you hire a Portuguese-to-English translator?

You can source a Portuguese-to-English translator on Upwork by following these three steps:

  • Write a project description. You’ll want to determine your scope of work and the skills and requirements you are looking for in a Portuguese-to-English translator.
  • Post it on Upwork. Once you’ve written a project description, post it to Upwork. Simply follow the prompts to help you input the information you collected to scope out your project.
  • Shortlist and interview Portuguese-to-English translators. Once the proposals start coming in, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview. 

Of these three steps, your project description is where you will determine your scope of work and the specific type of Portuguese-to-English translator you need to complete your project.

How much does it cost to hire a Portuguese-to-English translator?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced Portuguese-to-English translator may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their Portuguese-to-English translator services more competitively. 

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project. 

How do you write a Portuguese-to-English translator job post?

Your job post is your chance to describe your project scope, budget, and talent needs. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

Job post title

Create a simple title that describes exactly what you’re looking for. The idea is to target the keywords that your ideal candidate is likely to type into a job search bar to find your project. Here are some sample Portuguese-to-English translator job post titles:

  • Need someone fluent in Portuguese to translate business documents into English
  • Looking for expert in Portuguese language and Brazilian culture to help with movie script
  • Need Portuguese speaker to accompany me to a conference in Rio de Janeiro

Project description

An effective Portuguese-to-English translator job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From reading and writing in Portuguese to deciphering cultural nuances in Rio de Janeiro, list all the deliverables you’ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, events, or documents, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

Portuguese-to-English translator job responsibilities
