The man behind the words.

I am a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker, born in Salvador, a beach-city in the state of Bahia, in northeastern Brazil. I started in this business over 25 years ago, even before I went to Translation school. I have been providing language services since 1996 to a great number of national, international, and multinational organizations, in both the private and public sectors, as well as to countless individuals.

Apart from majors in Translation, in Brazil; and in Archaeology, History & Ancient Greek in Athens, Greece, I also have an LL.B., and I am a certified lawyer in good standing with the BAR. If you are looking for proper translation services to your legal documentation, rest assured that they will find the perfect place with me, an active professional who habitually navigates both areas — translation and legal. Also, I am no stranger to sensitive information, so all of your documentation will be always fully protected, and kept in the strictest confidence.

The earliest translation examples we can find date back to some 4 500 years ago in Mesopotamia. Since then, much has changed, and technology brought us terms like “CAT tool,” “TB,” and “TM”, which should be present in every good translator’s vocabulary. Now, with the Fourth Industrial Revolution at our doorstep, the promising new tool of artificial intelligence (A.I.) is again demanding translators to quickly adapt to this new reality.

As we integrate these new technologies into our workflow, however, it is imperative that we do not lose focus. Bells and whistles are always fun, but we must never forget to keep our eye on the ball, for some things have not yet changed. And so it is that, in an era when A.I. is so prevalent, so too are the robotic and mistake-riddled texts it produces. While artificial intelligence is, indeed, a powerful instrument, we must never forget the soul behind the tool. That is why, even with all the rapid technological advancement today, human translation remains the gold standard for accurate and nuanced communication across languages.

A human professional translator will give you what machines cannot: cultural insight, context awareness, linguistic expertise tailored to your specific needs, and, more importantly, real, human language output. You need a provider who understands the subtlety behind idiomatic expressions, who can maintain your tone and style, and who will ensure that your translation genuinely, even emotionally, resonates with its intended audience. Simply put, your translation has to check all the boxes, and they need an authentic, beating heart behind every word.

There is a reason why human beings are still called upon to correct A.I.’s output. This is not only about navigating complex subject matter, or about adapting to specialized industry terminology. This is about providing truly creative solutions for challenging translations, while keeping the soul of your text alive into a different language. Avoid lifeless, robotic word-for-word conversion: go with heartfully crafted translations that truly mean every word you say, with all the impact they are meant to have. Choose human translation for unparalleled accuracy, reliability, and a personal touch that genuinely connects your product with your readers.

Give your translation the attention it rightly deserves:

✅ No “machine feel” to your text

✅ Culturally and linguistically appropriate

✅ Polissemy treated the right way

✅ Reliable
