Technical translation

Besides books and subtitles, I translate and edit technical, legal, and institutional texts across Portuguese, English, and Spanish.

EBC since 2013

Besides journalism and subtitling at Brazil's public media company, I translate its legal and administrative documents between Portuguese and Spanish, in both directions: contracts with external partners, official requests, regulations, and international cooperation documents. I also edit texts in Spanish and Portuguese.

In the 2026 call for applications, I qualified for translation (in both directions) and editing services, provided through the International Legal Cooperation Center (CECINT), which handles cooperation between Brazil's federal courts and other countries and the execution of court decisions abroad.
