 💡 I am not the right translator for you.
If you are looking for a translator to adapt your content into Italian, please do not contact me if: ❌ You want everything at once ➡️ accurate translations take time. Yes, I also manage urgent translations, but only if the word count is not excessive or if it is a project I have been working on for some time. ❌ No matter who you are, for me you're all the same ➡️ each translator has their style, experience, and fields of specialization. Saying one is as good as the other is like calling a dietician if you need a cardiologist or vice versa. ❌ You think it's enough to know a second language well. ➡️ no, translators are cultural mediators. First of all, we know our native language perfectly and then comes everything else. And by 'everything else' I mean study, preparation, knowledge of other languages and cultures, etc. ❌ You offer low rates, e.g., 0.02 cents per word, and tell me that everyone else is okay with that. ➡️ No, I don't think so. Good translations need appropriate rates.

 💻 I am not an interpreter, I am a translator.
Yes, I know that some of my colleagues work both as translators and interpreters, but it's not my case. When choosing a profession, I think we all should take into consideration our strengths and weaknesses. ✒️ As for me, writing has always been my greatest passion. 📚 I love doing research in any possible field, and working on my own has never been a problem. 🎮 I am a genuine nerd, so translating video games, films, and TV series is my dream job. 😩 On the other hand, I admit that I can get very anxious, that is why working as an interpreter would have been too stressful for me! 🎬 Doing a job that only causes us stress and anxiety can be very harmful to our health. I am glad I decided to translate audiovisuals from my cosy home studio. |
