English-Spanish IT Marketing Translation
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I have an ongoing flow of marketing content—ad copy, web pages, email campaigns, social posts, brochures—originally written in English that must read as if it were conceived in Spanish, and occasionally vice-versa when campaigns originate in Spanish. Accuracy is vital, but the real goal is resonance: the translated copy has to preserve brand voice, persuasive power, and cultural relevance for each target market.
Here is how I work: I share source files (usually Word, Google Docs, or keyed text pulled from design files) and a brief outlining tone, audience, and any non-negotiable terminology. You translate directly in a CAT tool of your choice—Trados, Memsource, Smartcat, or similar—to keep terminology and style consistent across campaigns. You’ll also expand and maintain the project-specific glossary I provide; every time a new tagline or brand term appears, it goes in the list for future reference.
Before delivery, I expect you to run a quick linguistic QA, checking grammar, punctuation, and layout so the Spanish fits the space constraints of banners, subject lines, or ad characters. Turnaround is usually two to three business days for short pieces, a week for larger decks; if anything looks tight, you flag it immediately so we can adjust.
Deliverables for each assignment:
• Final Spanish version ready to paste into design or CMS
• Clean bilingual file (English + Spanish) for my internal reviewers
• Updated terminology list or TM export
All files and brand information are strictly confidential and may not be shared or used elsewhere.
If this workflow fits your expertise and schedule, let’s start with a paid test piece of roughly 400 words and take it from there.
