Hi, I’m Iván – a certified EN<>ES technical translator. Over the past couple of years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a variety of clients, from new entrepreneurs all the way to conglomerates. In the process, I’ve come to realize that in order to convey the perfect message, understanding a company’s distinctive voice is paramount.
That’s why I go further to research how your services could be advantageous for the target audience. In doing so, I am able to deliver accurate EN<>ES language services. I draw on my engineering background and translating experience to help you successfully expand your businesses into Latin America, the US and Spain.
I look forward to collaborating with you.
TRANSLATION
Industry-standard TEP (Translation + Editing + Proofreading) translation. I will take care of all your language needs—from single-word SMS messages to full platform translations.
LOCALIZATION
You can decide if you want to adapt your products' translation to a specific Spanish-dialect or region. Pro tip: Using the same Spanish text for Latin America and Spain is no bueno.
MTPE
Machine translation has certainly made great strides in the past few years, but you know what makes it even better? An actual human translator's review.
TRANSCREATION
Let's work together to create that killer hook—one that not even Canelo could top. Now that your company is growing within the global market, you'll want to keep your brand's tone consistent across the board.

Your work is excellent, it's really at the level I like to work. I will certainly take you into consideration for the next project.

SUPERB TRACK RECORD
Repetition builds your reputation, and your reputation brings in customers. Check out my clients' testimonials and my recent projects below.
What are your working languages?
My native language is Spanish, so most of my language projects have been EN>ES. Since I’m certified as an ES>EN translator, as well, I have completed projects in both language pairs.
What's your experience in translation?
I have over 8 years of experience as a freelance translator, working both for direct and agency clients. I started back in 2014 after switching from engineering.
What projects have you worked on?
Please check the recent projects section below.
What is your educational background?
I hold a B. S. in Software Engineering from the National University of Colombia (acceptance rate just over 10%) and a certificate (pass rate under 10%) as an official EN<>ES translator and interpreter from the same university. I obtained the top score in the translating section of the certification exam among 100+ candidates.
So, are you an interpreter, too?
Yes I am! I have experience both as a consecutive (liaison) and simultaneous interpreter in events such as business matchmaking forums, tech-related conferences and training courses.
What is your specialization?
Given my background as an engineer, my specialization is technical topics mainly relating to IT (software, computers, telcom, apps, gaming, etc.), as well as industrial and manufacturing ones. For example, I specialize in materials like websites, manuals/user guides, technical documentation, online help, packaging, EULA & ToS, patents & legal documents, and training & e-learning materials. I have successfully delivered projects relating to the other main fields of translation as well (marketing, financial, legal, medical).
Do you offer proofreading/editing/post-editing services?
Yes, I do. Proofreading/editing/post-editing is crucial if you want your product/service to engage your target audience. You don’t want a rushed (or god forbid, machine!) translation. Instead, you want a well done, thorough human review/translation process.
How many words can you translate/review in a day?
That depends. For general texts, an average of 2500 words per day for translation and 6000 for review is a good estimate, but depending on your project’s topic and complexity this can vary (increase/decrease) a little. It is worth noting that for long-term collaborations, the average word-per-day delivery rises as the project progresses. This is because the translation process and terminology gets streamlined.
What do you translate?
As in languages, EN>ES and ES>EN. As in materials, anything: websites, software, apps, posts, messages, documentation, brochures, reports, manuals, certificates, contracts, etc. You say it. As in fields, all the main ones: technical, marketing, legal, business, social and pure sciences, gaming, etc.
Do you do certify translations?
Yes, I do. However, the catch is that most translation certificates are valid only country-wide. Therefore, I can only certify translations from/to Colombia.
Do you use any CAT Tools?
Yes. Trados is my go-to CAT tool. However, if your project requires the use of specific CAT software, I can work with all the popular ones.
Can I assign you a really large job? I don't think you'll be able to deliver it by yourself.
If your job’s delivery rate is well over 2500 words per day for a translation or 6000 words for reviewing, chances are I won’t be the only one doing the job. I have a small network of translators with whom I have worked over the years, so you can rest assured I will meet your project’s deadlines.
Okay, I want to use your translation services. What's the delivery date?
You can calculate the delivery date by dividing your project’s total word count by 2500. The resulting figure is the number of days it will take me to deliver the final product (e.g. for a total word count of 40000, divide by 2500 = 16 business days for delivery).
What's your rate?
Short answer: That depends. Long answer: All projects are unique and you have to take many variables into account, such as the complexity (general/technical/highly technical), file type (DTP required or not), urgency (work on weekends, etc.), and size (discounts for large long-term projects), just to mention the most relevant ones. Those factors must be considered in order to come up with a fair rate that works for both of us.
How can I order a translation?
Choose your preferred way to contact me and describe your project’s requirements (ideally by attaching the material to be translated/reviewed). A few minutes later, I’ll get back to you with a quote. If you agree with the quote’s conditions, I’ll start your translation right away.
How can I pay for a translation?
There are many different options: SEPA, ACH, Payoneer, Wise, PayPal, PayU, WorldRemit, Azimo, Remitly, WesternUnion, etc.
How can I contact you?
In the contact section, you can fill the form out with your requirements and attach the document(s) that needs to be translated. You will also find my social media pages there, or you can send me a WhatsApp/Telegram message at the bottom right of the page.
