Every text related to Legal & Business field – like contracts, business docs, warranties, terms of use, policies and so on - encompasses a specific set of ideas and concepts that should be conveyed accurately. This is why my first concern is to understand clearly involved parts and relationships to guarantee term accuracy and style command, with great care of customers' confidential data.

UI and Web localization, together with marcom translation, implies a neater adaptation of contents, focusing on specific culture and conventions of local market/audience. In other words, localization aims at making those contents (related to software and hardware products, Web sites, etc.) as usable as possible to prevent the sense of confusion that could arise from strange concepts to target culture and language. A typical example is an English text containing sports metaphors taken from baseball, that could be adapted with metaphors referred to football universe in Italian, as they are more familiar to Italian final users and readers. Thanks to my experience, I am aware of challenges and technical requirements to meet (i.e. length restrictions, use of industry-standard and product terminology, adherence to style guide) for the best rendering.

Editing and MT post-editing goal is to check translation accuracy on different levels, including spelling, grammar, syntax, terminology, and adherence to style guide. While editing is addressed to review the work done by other (human) translators, post-editing consists in reviewing and fixing machine-translated (MT) contents, that are processed and built using automated translation engines. Over the years I have developed a robust check procedure that allows me to provide both services in an accurate and thorough manner.
