FAQS
My native language is Castilian Spanish, or Spanish from Spain. Thus, I accept assignments from English, Italian, and German into Spanish. I also offer bilingual copywriting services (English and Spanish). You might want to consider whether you need a native speaker for each language or type of text. In my portfolio you can get an idea of my writing style, both in Spanish and English.
My rates vary depending on the project, urgency, and subject matter. For example, the simple translation of a website or a press release is usually charged per word, while copywriting or transcreation projects tend to be billed hourly due to the creativity involved. In any case, drop me a line and I will send you a customised quote, no strings attached!
My translation and text creation tools are quite versatile, so I usually work with most editable Office formats (Excel tables, .doc, .rtf). For optimal results, I always recommend sending files as .docx, as it ensures that the formatting remains unchanged, unlike many non-editable PDFs.
SEO localisation is a rather complex service, which depends to a large extent on external factors such as indexing, search engines, and competition.
Therefore, I rather focus on offering a keyword research and integration service aimed at buyer personas from the region I know best: Spain. In other words, I only offer SEO in Spanish. Feel free to write to me if you are looking for recommendations of SEO specialists in other languages or regions.
Although rumour has it that freelancers don’t have fixed working hours, I like to establish regular contact hours to accept and deliver orders, ask questions, etc. So, you can contact me from Monday to Friday, from 9:00 to 18:00 (CET). I do not work on weekends, except for urgent orders to which I apply the corresponding surcharge.
As with everything in life, delivery depends on the number of words or hours of your project, your urgency, and my availability. To give you an idea, I can translate or proofread around 3000 words a day. However, this figure will vary depending on factors such as the format, and technical or creative nature of the assignment. Once you send me your project in its final format, I will be able to evaluate it and give you the best possible deadline.
Once I issue your invoice, a bank transfer is hard to beat. But, if you prefer, I accept transfers by Wise or PayPal. My payment terms are 30 days.
