Editing and
Language Management
Detail-oriented editing and management of your Portuguese translation team
Translation mistakes happen.
Especially under tight deadlines or when work is split among multiple linguists, resulting in inconsistent voice and style.
As your editor, I’ll make sure translated text is error-free and audience-appropriate to bring it from great to flawless.

If you’re just expanding into Brazilian Portuguese, I can recruit your language team from scratch.
Here’s how it works:
1. Candidates are screened according to your defined budget.
2. Candidates are tested on the specific skills your project requires.
3. The right number of translators are recruited to fulfill your schedule.
4. I proofread and edit the translation personally, OR…
5. Train a trusted editor on your project needs.
My solid connections with qualified translators were built through intensive networking and 10 years of language services for 20+ end clients and translation companies.
Diego is our lead proofreader, and we appreciate his thoroughness and attention to detail. He also helped to coordinate the project, which was beyond our expectations.
