Regional judgement
My familiarity with Spanish usage in Spain, Mexico, Colombia and Ecuador helps me identify expressions that travel well and those that need a local alternative.
ABOUT ANDRÉS
Language in context.
My work brings together translation, editorial judgement and an understanding of how people use content. A product interface, a technical article and a spoken script each need a different approach.
I work across English and Spanish, with experience adapting content for Spain and Latin America—from terminology and register to the small expressions that make a text feel natural.
MY APPROACH
Meaning before word-for-word equivalence.
I consider what the text needs to do, who will read it and where it will appear. Those decisions shape the vocabulary, rhythm and level of formality.
Source-aware editing
When reviewing a translation, I compare it with the source as well as reading it independently. This helps catch omissions and shifts in meaning that a grammar check alone can miss.
Practical deliverables
I work with structured spreadsheets, subtitle files and formatted documents, respecting the conventions and instructions that make the final content usable.
