English - Italian translator

I am a professional translator and linguist specializing in the English - Italian language pair. I offer precision, attention to detail, and deep stylistic sensibility to ensure that your novel's voice, pace, and atmosphere are faithfully conveyed to the Italian readership.

Experience and Genre Specialization

My primary focus is on Genre Fiction, particularly Mystery, Thriller, and Noir. As an avid reader of these genres, I understand the critical importance of narrative pacing, tight dialogue, and the necessity of maintaining suspense until the very last page.

• Literary Translation Practice: I have prior experience translating narrative prose, including a collaborative project translating a short story from an East Asian language (Korean > Italian).

 

• My background in Legal/Commercial Translation and Linguistic Quality Control (Linguistic Annotation) ensures a meticulous approach to managing terminology, plot details, and stylistic consistency: all foundational elements for a successful thriller.

Key Professional Skills

My diverse professional experiences have refined my project management skills and attention to detail, which are crucial for a long-form book translation project:

• I have worked for leading companies (RWS AI, Mayra Enterprise) in linguistic quality control, query vetting, and multilingual data annotation for AI/NLP model training. This experience has given me an outstanding methodology for text analysis, resolving ambiguities, and ensuring maximum linguistic data quality.

 

• Proficient in the use of Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tools (such as Trados Studio 2022, OmegaT, MemoQ, MateCat) and textual analysis tools (like AntConc) to guarantee terminological and stylistic consistency across long texts.

Relevant Education

• BA in Oriental Languages and Cultures (L'Orientale University of Naples): Focused on linguistic foundations, with studies in English, Korean, and basic Japanese. This degree established my core analytical and language comprehension skills.

 

• Master's Degree (In Progress) in Digital Humanities (L'Orientale University of Naples): Focus on NLP, Machine Learning, and computational text analysis. This path integrates my linguistic skills with a deep understanding of digital dynamics and data, offering a modern approach to translation.

 

• Specialization Course in Legal/Commercial Translation: Advanced training in technical texts, which reinforces my ability to handle complex details and specific jargon.

For Your Project: If you are looking for a translator who combines a passion for the Mystery/Thriller genre with a methodical, professional approach to deliver a high-quality final product, I am the right partner to internationalize your book in the Italian market.
