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.

Being born into a family of linguists, I have obtained an incredibly wide understanding of the English and Portuguese languages from a very early age. Therefore, I have been practising translation since the age of 15 and have excellent writing, reading, and comprehension skills in both languages. Furthermore, having lived in both England and Portugal, I have a rare cultural knowledge in both English and Portuguese. At the moment I am finishing my degree in Applied Languages in "Universidade do Minho". This degree has given me the ability to specialize in Law, Economics and Computing Translation. I also have extremely good computer and keyboarding skills, as I have been translating for 5 years. Moreover, I am self-motivated, very organized and disciplined. When working with me, you can expect: a unique and passionate approach to the job; full dedication and motivation to the task; prompt communication; deadline meeting at all times; availability to discuss ideas. As a translator, I am a firm believer in translating ideas, concepts and culture, rather than words. I am used to and very good at working under tight deadlines. My working language pairs are the following: English - Portuguese German - Portuguese German - English Portuguese - English Spanish - English Spanish - Portuguese

Hello! I'm Ana, a native European Portuguese (PT-PT) translator and proofreader based in Lisbon, Portugal. I hold a Master's degree in Sociology and combine several years of professional experience in translation, localization, educational content, and training management. As a freelance translator and proofreader, I have worked with clients from different industries, translating and reviewing legal documents, marketing materials, websites, mobile applications, educational resources, certificates, and historical records. My objective is always to deliver translations that are accurate, natural, and culturally appropriate, ensuring they read as though they were originally written in the target language. While European Portuguese is my native language, I also have professional experience working with Brazilian Portuguese (PT-BR). I regularly translate, review, and adapt content for both variants according to each client's target audience and linguistic requirements. I have experience with AI-assisted linguistic review and Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE), reviewing and refining machine-generated translations to ensure they are accurate, natural, fluent, and culturally appropriate. I also use AI tools such as ChatGPT to support research, drafting, and quality review while ensuring that every final deliverable meets professional linguistic standards. Alongside my freelance work, I currently work as a Training Officer, where I coordinate training programmes, monitor annual training plans, produce analytical reports, and support the delivery of learning initiatives. Previously, I worked as a Learning Coordinator, collaborating in course planning and supporting trainers and learners. Earlier in my career, I taught Sociology at ISCSP – University of Lisbon, planning lessons, supporting students, and evaluating academic performance. This experience strengthened my communication skills, attention to detail, and ability to create clear and well-structured content. Services I provide • English ↔ Portuguese Translation (PT-PT & PT-BR) • Proofreading & Editing • Localization • Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE) • AI-assisted Linguistic Review • Legal Translation • Marketing & Website Localization • Educational & Training Content • Historical & Genealogical Documents If you're looking for a reliable language professional who values accuracy, clear communication, cultural adaptation, and on-time delivery, feel free to send me a message. I look forward to collaborating on your project! Best regards, Ana Dinis
