Hire the Best Portuguese to Spanish Translators
in Portugal

I am Mónica Alcantara, a certified Portuguese translator with over 5 years of professional experience and C2-level English proficiency. I specialize in English ↔ Portuguese translation, transcription, subtitling, and localization for diverse content: manuals, apps, e-commerce listings, legal documents, audio/video, and XML/.po files. I deliver accurate, culturally adapted translations while preserving formatting and style. Every project is proofread to ensure 100% client satisfaction. My workflow prioritizes quality, precision, and on-time delivery, and I am known for handling complex files while maintaining high standards. Let’s discuss your project — I provide tailored solutions for every client, ensuring your content resonates perfectly in Portuguese or English.

Your content is too important to sound translated. I'm a PhD-qualified translator and localisation specialist working across English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French — helping businesses launch in new markets with content that reads as if it were written there from day one. With nearly 3,000 hours on Upwork and a background in specialised translation, I bring academic rigour to real-world results: product pages that convert, SaaS interfaces that feel native, marketing copy that resonates, and medical or legal content that's precise and compliant. What I deliver: ◆ Website & e-commerce localisation (EN/PT/ES/FR) ◆ SaaS UI and software localisation ◆ Marketing copy adaptation — not just translation ◆ Medical, legal & technical document translation ◆ Proofreading & post-editing for tone, clarity and accuracy I work directly with brands and companies that need a reliable language partner — not just a freelancer. Clear communication, consistent quality, and zero guesswork. If your content needs to work in another language, let's talk.

Working as a translator in the last 5 years for an international company. Working directly with more than +5 different languages (and native speakers). Experience living in 4 countries for more than 1 year in each.
