Bio

Hello and welcome to my profile!


My name is Cecília Alves and I'm a carioca from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I've lived in Rosario, Argentina for 10 years now, though I maintain close contact with my mother tongue here and visit my home country annually.


I have an eclectic background: a B.A. in Languages (Portuguese-English) with a Teaching Degree and a B.A. in International Relations. I'm a former English teacher with 9 years old of experience teaching children, teenagers and adults. My passion for languages (especially English, Spanish and Portuguese, my working languages) and a strong interest in translation led me to have an English-Portuguese Translation Diploma and a Spanish-Portuguese Translation Diploma. As for certificates in languages, I have the Michigan University Proficiency Certificate in the English Language (USA) and the Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera - Nivel Intermedio (DELE) from Universidad de Salamanca.


I've been an English/Spanish > Brazilian Portuguese translator and editor for more than 10 years. My experience with international translation agencies is as broad as my specialty areas:


EN>PT-BR:


  • IT 
  • Software/Website Localization

  • Telecommunications (audio/videoconference solutions and products)

  • Marketing (IT and videogames descriptions)

  • Human Resources (e-learning courses and training materials)

  • Industrial Printing/Technologies (printing equipments, mobile computers and scanners)

  • Medicine (medical devices - IFUs/software/leaflets/brochures)

ES>PT-BR:

  • Travel/Tourism (restaurant menus)
  • Marketing (fashion/clothing)


I have also a short-time experience in Travel & Tourism for en>pt-BR, having translated/edited some leaflets of luxury outlets. Moreover, I translated a small project of a hotel website in Argentina for es-AR>pt-BR. I'm interested in growing my experience in the field of Travel & Tourism for both pairs.


I work full time, including on weekends. I use regularly Trados Studio, memoQ, XTM and Phrase, and I have my own licences of Trados Studio 2022 and memoQ Translator Pro. Though still getting used to them, I'm willing to use AI tools in my work if needed.


Last but not least, my main professional skills are proactivity, teamwork, responsiveness and great research capacity.


You may also check my Linkedin profile and request my CV to get more information about my background and experience.


Looking forward to your contact!
