My name is Sílvia Ruiz and I am a freelance translator from German and English to Spanish and Catalan since 2005. I also work as a copywriter for website and marketing texts (I have worked for UPF, Ecler, Surya Retreats, T-Systems, IESE, SonyBMG, etc). I use SDL Trados Studio 2019 and several other CAT-Tools under the client's request.
I am a proactive, professional expert in business localization and I am passionate about linguistic and cross-cultural communication and about the art of translation. My mission is to build bridges among different cultures and to erase idiomatic barriers.
More than 35 years of marine enineering, ship inspections, auditing, fluent in German, Enlish, French, Portuguese, Spanish
Languages are essential to communication and communication is key in a globalised world. I enjoy taking part in this process and, above all, I enjoy my job.
I am a (sworn) translator, with many years’ experience. I pursued my studies in Philology and historical Linguistics at the University of Münster (Germany). During my studies I had the opportunity to gain experience in the world of interpretation and translation, also carrying out proofreading tasks (for about two years). After that I went to Spain, where I undertook a Master in Translation from the University of Cordoba, between 2008 and 2010 (specializing in law and tourism), obtaining the best results. Since late 2013 I have established in Germany and since 2014 I am working as a freelance translator and interpreter for various agencies, always seeking new targets. I am also confident that my personal and work profiles meet your needs, image and philosophy. Since August 2017 I became sworn translator. Regarding my work, I am a meticulous person, quality and customer-oriented. I meet the deadlines and, of course, I adapt to customer needs.
