I am a Portuguese native speaker with eight years of experience in translations from English/French to Portuguese. I also worked for five years as Deputy-Director of Macau Government Press Office, where I was in charge of all contacts (in English, of course) with foreign journalists.
Between 2010 and 2015 I worked as a translator, linguist reviewer and proofreader for a Macau Government Office, “Office for International Law Affairs”.
That office was in charge of translating all documents, decisions, deliberations and new regulations coming from international organizations, like the United Nations, the World Health Organization or the Universal Postal Union. My job was to compare the texts, translated to Portuguese by private companies, with the original versions in English and French, in order to detect mistakes in the translations.
I also work as a journalist, since 1981, and had several editorial positions in Portuguese national newspapers (now, I work as a freelance), so I can say I have a command of Portuguese well above the average and a lot of experience on working under the pressure of very strict deadlines.
My translation rates are between 0,055 USD (0,050 Euros) and 0,095 USD (0,080 euros) per word, depending from the kind of text to be translated and the deadlines - always subject to negotiation.
