English and Italian feel so similar, yet so different?
Communicating between different languages and cultures doesn’t happen by chance. It happens through careful writing. That is when a translator and post-editor – better yet, a highly trained, perfectly organised experienced translator and certified post-editor like me comes into play.
In my work, I strive to translate not only words, but concepts, ideas, and intentions. I carefully polish each sentence to make sure the word choice is perfect, the phrase is catchy, and the message hits home.

If you are a translator, chances are you’ve been already asked this question several times. If you personally know a translator, chances are you’ve often wondered what do they do all day long. If you’ve ever hired a translator, chances are you’ve asked yourself what the heck were they doing …
I’ve already written a blog post about running a thoughful and kind business. For me, this also include being as green as possible. This is what I do in this area:
Amazing how time flies. In my last post, I had written about all the exciting news that awaited for me back from my maternity leave. I was full of energy and ready to start. All of this paid off. During the last year, I’ve been able to:
Eventually, my maternity period has come to an end. I’m sad because I constantly miss my daughter, while sitting in front of my PC… alone, for virtually the first time in three months. But on the other hand I’m also happy, because I feel full of new energies and ready to …
See you in September… P.S. You can read about this here and here.
(If you’ve missed Part 1, you can catch up here) So, we’re almost there! In a few days, my maternity hiatus will officialy begin. I must confess I have mixed feelings about this: I’m so happy to start focussing on myself and the baby, but I’m sure I’ll somehow miss my freelancing routine. However, …

I’ve always loved the idea that working by myself and for myself also enables me to build a meaningful business. This does not necessarily means taking striking actions to make the world a better place as suggested in this article: Working hard is essential, but entrepreneurs also have a unique …
I read plenty of blog and forum posts stating that translators, and freelancers in general, are entrepreneurs. Or need to think like entrepreneurs. Or act like entrepreneurs with their customers and competitors. The truth is, I really don’t understand why. I guess this is just a more fashionable way to …
