"Always a pleasure working with Carlos. He is efficient, clearly communicates and we're always pleased with his efforts. Look forward to working together again!"
"Thank you for the great on going cooperation. The translation (including technical vocabulary) were of really good quality, our spanish-speaking reviewers were very happy. The communication and cooperation with Carlos is fast and easy. Thanks a lot!"
"Carlos is an excellent Spanish translator and I highly recommend him. He has advanced knowledge of both English and Spanish, and his ability to produce high quality Spanish translations is fantastic. He is a true professional as he is always communicative, provides great feedback, and asks good questions. His technical skill as a translator is high as he regularly demonstrates his experience in localization, as he understands the importance of context and makes considerations of things like variables and character limits. If you are looking for a translator for your next Spanish project, you need look no further than Carlos."
"Carlos went beyond what I expected, and is genuinely incredibly fun to talk to! He gave me lots of options to choose from and did his best to accommodate to my needs. I would definitely recommend him, and look forward to potentially working with him again!"

Hi there and thank you for looking at my profile!
I’m a native Spanish speaker, fluent in English, and an ATA-certified English to Spanish Translator. I’ve been working as a translator, transcriber, subtitler, and proofreader since 2012
I hold a B.A. in Languages and Sociocultural Studies (Spanish/English) from the University of Los Andes —4th best university in Latin America— as well as a Master’s degree in Translation and New Technologies from UDIMA (Spain). I'm also a graphic designer, which means that I'm savvy enough to keep the same layout of your original documents for both multimedia or print media.
As a perfectionist, highly committed, reliable, and keen freelancer individual, I take pride in my work, and I'll be bidding on your project ONLY If I know that I can finish it myself with the best quality and rates (No outsourcing on my side). But, just don’t take my word for it, please check out my work history and feedback from my previous clients!
Looking forward to working with you!

Native Spanish speaker with over 5 years (+100 projects) of translation/writing experience and a Literature degree. Expand your buisiness to the Spanish-speaking world with natural and accurate translations.
With a diverse and extensive background in translation, I bring versatility to the table. Over the years, I have successfully navigated various industries, including legal, advertisement, medical, websites, apps, non-fiction books, and magazines.
Delivering precise and culturally sensitive translations has allowed me to bridge language barriers, enabling communication between clients and their target audiences. Whether it's ensuring accurate medical documentation, translating complex legal documents or making sure websites, books and apps speak to a global audience, my portfolio showcases my linguistic skills and a passion for delivering top-notch translations that cater to each industry's unique demands.
I enjoy particularly literary translation, especially novels and video games. I have participated successfully in +100 projects and translated +150 books.
After I finished my B.A. in Literature, I started travelling through Latin America. I have lived and traveled through Mexico, Colombia and Argentina, getting to know people from all Spanish speaking countries. This helped me understand cultural nuances, developing a neutral writing style and great localization skills.
I am a great team player; I never miss a deadline and I will be happy to listen to your feedback.
