More than words can say

anniecdtranslations: authentic, bespoke translations

I’m passionate about words. The way you express yourself says everything about you that your client needs to know.

When you pick up a novel, you know right away whether you like it or not. So, you carry on reading, or you put it aside. The same happens when someone reads your website – will they find resonance in what they see, will they lose interest right away, or find a jarring note? In today’s text-based world, we are confronted with a barrage of words every day and have to be selective. Make sure people choose to pay attention to what you have to say. Entrust your text to an outstanding linguist.

I realised I had a flair for English at a young age. An apt phrase, the right riposte, prize-winning compositions. A musical child, I found a text had to have a natural rhythm to ring true. To my delight, I later also found I had a talent for foreign languages, discovering whole different repertoires of rhythms and melodies. A prolonged sojourn in Spain, then Germany, followed by finally settling in multinational Mallorca have added up to over 30 years of immersion in my chosen language fields: Spanish, German and Catalan.

Specialities:

Having obtained a degree in psychology after leaving school and spent several years working in the field, I specialise in the social sciences, more specifically in psychoanalytic texts, with several books and numerous articles for prestigious journals in my portfolio. The nuances and scientific and philosophical content of these translations never ceases to amaze and delight me, as does close collaboration with the authors. I also remain true to my first love, literary translation.
