European Portuguese Translator & Editor | Localization QA | AI Eval

Seixal, Portugal

I help global teams produce European Portuguese content that is accurate, natural and ready for a local audience. I work across: ▪ English-to-European Portuguese translation, editing and proofreading ▪ Localization QA, linguistic testing and severity-based issue reporting ▪ PT-PT versus PT-BR review, terminology and style-guide compliance ▪ Editorial and literary review ▪ LLM and AI-output evaluation for accuracy, fluency, cultural relevance and instruction-following I am a native European Portuguese speaker with a degree in English and Portuguese Language and Literature, including a minor in Translation. My language work includes translation and quality assessment at Welocalize, literary editing at TransPerfect, and AI/LLM evaluation with iMerit, Appen and RWS. At Scale AI, I coordinated Generative AI language pipelines across PT-PT, PT-BR and English. That experience gave me a particularly strong understanding of linguistic quality at scale: calibration, guideline interpretation, error patterns, feedback and consistent delivery across distributed teams. Alongside language work, I bring an operations background in documentation, workflow coordination and quality processes. It means I am comfortable working asynchronously, following complex guidelines and delivering clear, reliable work without unnecessary oversight. If you need European Portuguese that reads naturally—not just correctly—I would be glad to help.
