Meet Inés! Translator’s tales no. 3

Stargazing Spanish translator Inés has been one of our go-to resources for Spanish since 2012

Fact sheet, Inés:

– Main areas of translation work:
Software localisation (mainly games and apps), marketing copy, tourism, educational material, nutrition and recipes, NGOs, and e-commerce.

– Inés’ translation quirks:
Inés tries to not translate everything in huge chunks of time, but rather intersperses a few hours of translation with different activities, to be able to keep her mind and writing skills constantly refreshed.

– Capacity per day or week:
It highly depends on the type of text, as a list of terms is vastly different from, say, a blog post. But Inés averages 2500-3000 words a day.

– Hobbies:
In her spare time, Inés collaborates with her local astronomy group, and occasionally goes stargazing. When not sitting in front of a computer, she also likes to go for long walks and play board games.

– A fun fact about Inés:
Apart from living in Spain, where she currently resides, Inés has also lived in Austria, England, Norway and Germany.
