Hello! I'm Jorge, a passionate linguist and emerging professional translator specializing in English to European Portuguese translations. With a deep-rooted connection to both Portugal, my birthplace, and the United Kingdom, where I spent fifteen formative years, I've cultivated a profound understanding of both cultures and languages.
My journey into translation began with a natural inclination towards languages from a young age. Growing up bilingual, I effortlessly navigated between English and Portuguese, developing a keen ear for nuances in both languages. This innate interest led me to pursue several linguistic courses, honing my skills in translation techniques and cultural adaptation.
My professional journey as a translator is a new but exhilarating chapter. I approach each project with dedication and attention to detail, striving to convey not just words but the essence and tone of the original text. Whether translating literature, business documents, or technical materials, I ensure accuracy and maintain the integrity of the message, while also capturing the cultural nuances that make a translation truly resonate with its audience.
My experience living in the UK for fifteen years enriched my understanding of English language and culture. It allowed me to absorb colloquialisms, idiomatic expressions, and the subtleties of communication that are essential for providing authentic translations. These years abroad were invaluable in shaping my linguistic abilities and preparing me for a career in translation.
Currently, I am focusing on building a diverse portfolio, collaborating with clients across various industries to deliver high-quality translations that meet their specific needs. I am particularly drawn to literary translation, where I can immerse myself in the art of capturing the author's voice and style while preserving the integrity of their work.
Beyond translation, I am committed to continuous learning and growth within the field. Staying updated with language trends, exploring new genres, and refining my skills through ongoing professional development are priorities for me. I believe that each translation project offers an opportunity not only to showcase my linguistic abilities but also to connect people and ideas across different cultures.
In addition to my professional endeavours, I enjoy sharing my passion for languages and translation through writing and contributing to discussions within the translation community. I am eager to contribute positively to the field and to establish myself as a trusted and skilled translator.
As I embark on this exciting journey, I am motivated by the challenges and rewards of bridging linguistic and cultural gaps through translation. My goal is to continue growing as a translator, delivering exceptional work that exceeds expectations and fosters meaningful connections between languages and people.
