Translation

Did you know that 75% of online shoppers prefer buying in their own language?

Or that 90% of Europeans prefer to read in their native language when surfing the internet?

Translation is a key part of companies’ growth and internationalisation, as when they talk to their employees or clients in their native language:

  • They boost their visibility and improve client trust
  • They achieve better conversion rates
  • They improve their brand image
  • Their employees become more invested
  • They make sure their messages are fully understood

If you’re considering taking your company international and breaking into the Spanish market, take care of every last detail and make sure that your documents or translated content:

  • Respects the target language’s grammar and spelling rules
  • Respects the register of the original text
  • Produces a text that’s fluid, coherent and precise

    Transcreation

    If you want to build Spanish into your multi-lingual content marketing strategy or need to translate your next marketing campaign, you’ll need a transcreation professional.

    Transcreation is a specialist type of translation focused on creative marketing texts.

    Transcreation professionals aren’t just good translators. We also have to be:

    • Good cultural consultants
    • Creative and imaginative
    • Knowledgeable about the products we work on

    We’re the best friends of marketing teams everywhere, as it’s our job to help make sure the campaign or strategy they’ve designed in the original language has the same effect on its new audience.

      Content writing and copywriting

      Did you know that 55% of users decide whether it’s worth continuing to read your content in just 15 seconds?

      Basically, we have very little time to make a good first impression on our potential clients. And you never get a second chance to make a good first impression, on or offline.

      If you want your potential clients to keep reading, you need quality content that’s well written with plenty of persuasive writing techniques – also known as copywriting.

      Revision and linguistic consultancy

      Had translations done by another supplier, but want to make sure the texts still have the original meaning, respect linguistic rules and are in the right register? Or perhaps you need help to choose your brand’s tone of voice or check that the keywords for your next marketing campaign won’t offend the target audience?

      Two sets of eyes are always better than one. Getting an external opinion will mean you can publish your texts, content or campaigns safe in the knowledge that I’ve checked the following:

      Linguistic aspects:

      • Does the translation respect the target language’s grammatical and spelling rules?
      • Does the translation achieve the same goal as the original?
      • Has the tone and register of the original been respected?
      • Is the text clear and well-structured

      Cultural aspects:

      • Is the tone used suitable for the audience the text is geared towards?
      • Does the product name have negative connotations?
      • Is there anything in the text or campaign that could be offensive to the target culture?

      Project management

      If you’re a solopreneur (in other words, it’s just you and your business), then I know that in an ideal world days would be 36 hours long so that you could do your job as well as doing your invoices, answering emails, writing your blog, managing your social media, etc.

      I can’t help with the invoices or emails, but I can help you manage everything to do with your communications.

      Happy Clients

      Take a look at what the clients I’ve worked with have to say.

      We often work with Adriana and her work is exemplary. Adriana is a meticulous, rigorous, creative translator, who always pays attention to detail. She’s an excellent solution, without a shadow of a doubt.”

      Isabel Santos, Plan2U

      Adriana has been collaborating with the translation agency Fábrica das Palavras since 2013. Her work consists of translating documents of all kinds from Portuguese and English to Spanish. Over the years, Adriana has always demonstrated her competence as a translator, completing tasks efficiently, and has shown her professionalism. She has an excellent standard of Spanish and is very skilled with translation software. Furthermore, she is detail-oriented and questions any kind of incoherence or lapse in the original text to guarantee the desired results. She is always available to clear up any questions that clients might ask about texts she has translated.

      Lídia Domingues, Manager of Fábrica das Palavras

      Adriana has proved to be an excellent professional and we would not hesitate to recommend her. She responds quickly, meets deadlines and delivers excellent quality. We have worked with her on projects related to tourism and the feedback has always been very positive.”

      Rui Sousa, Mind Words

      I met Adriana years ago, when we worked together at a translation agency in Portugal. She was always extremely professional and hardworking. Now, we are both independent translators and Adriana is my first port of call for Spanish projects. She always delivers quality work on time. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

      Alexandra Rodrigues Translation Services

      Adriana has three things which are key for collaborating with the SAVAGE team: a sense of responsibility, quick response time and compliance with deadlines. It’s also worth highlighting her friendliness and ability to be critical during the translation process, which adds value to the finished product.”

      Teresa Carvalho, Savage Agency 

      As well as being an easy-going person, Adriana is one of the best Spanish translators I know, if not the best. I’ve worked with her on various projects and they have all been very satisfactory: she has never missed a deadline, the communication has been excellent, and she has always been very professional. What sets her apart from other translators is her writing in Spanish, which is very rich. In one project that we both worked on, her translation to Spanish was much better than the original, which meant the text was indescribably poetic and beautiful.”
