literary and editorial translation
Translating the Pulse
—more than just correct sentences—
Short stories, novels, essays, magazine articles, reflection journals.
A literary work is not merely a string of correct sentences. It is a pulse.
Echoing the rhythm, tone, emotion and subtext of a piece of writing involves developing a deeply intimate relationship with its author.
That is why every literary translation begins with reading. Only after that can it truly become a faithful one.
Editorial content holds similar values, although with its own particular focus: namely to guarantee precision without losing warmth, to keep a consistent voice that holds throughout the piece and to deliver a (sometimes very) specific message. This is the place where most linguistic techniques come into play in order to fulfill and replicate the original's editorial intent.
Some texts can afford a literal translation.
Others, just don't.
A slogan, a campaign, a brand text: if translated word for word, something breaks.
Creative translation starts from there.
It does not aim to say the same thing. It aims to land the same way. It is about translating the gesture and deliverying the emotion that gesture is meant to evoke.
Who is reading on the other side?
What are their references?
What sounds natural to them?
Fidelity, here, is not to the text, but rather, to the effect.
CREATIVE TRANSLATION
Translating for Effect
—when the exact word is not enough—
Theses, academic papers, and essays in the areas of philosophy, education, social sciences, and natural sciences.
When your research not only carries arguments and evidence, but is also driven by passions and convictions, focusing on accuracy and detail in terminology is essential, but not enough. Here, tone and voice matter just as much: they are key to delivering your statements with their full weight and value.
THESIS & ACADEMIC PAPER TRANSLATION
Translating your Research
—when reflection matters as much as data—
Two pairs of eyes see better than one.
Editing and revision are fundamental steps, and are normally needed at several stages: from structural notes on argument and flow, to line edits for rhythm and clarity, to a final proofread to catch anything that might have slipped through.
The extra time and effort devoted to this task will ensure that the final piece reads fluently and without unnecessary noise, transforming any writing into a pleasant experience for readers.
It is best not to skip it.

Branches
Each branch points toward a different territory. These are the territories I return to most often as a reader, translator and lifelong student.
These are the forests I know how to walk.

the SHAPE-SHIFTING DETAIL
Transformations
Such as Nature that is constantly changing to keep itself alive, our words need to transform too when placed upon new soil.
The process of translation is much more than just replicating words on a different language, it is actually allowing for the meaning that is being transplanted to breathe into the new ground and continue growing without losing what gave it life.
For me, translating also means staying quiet. Not to disappear, but to make room. There, as my voice steps back, the text starts to reveal its own path and the words change from feeling chosen to feeling inevitable.

«Cuanto más cultivemos el amor y la paciencia, menos espacio habrá para la violencia en nuestras vidas».
Sanar para Criar
Denise Kornitz, 2024
English — Translation
The more seeds of love and patience we plant, the less space there will be for the weeds of violence to sprout in our lives.

“As I travelled across an African plain the sun shone down hotly. Then I drew my horse up under a mimosa-tree, and I took the saddle from him and left him to feed among the parched bushes.
And all to right and to left stretched the brown earth. And I sat down under the tree, because the heat beat fiercely, and all along the horizon the air throbbed.”
Three Dreams in a Desert
Olive Schreiner, 1890
SPANIsh — Translation
Mientras viajaba por la planicie africana, el sol brillaba caliente. Por lo que detuve mi caballo bajo un árbol de Mimosa, le retiré la silla y lo dejé pastando entre los arbustos resecos.
Hacia derecha y hacia izquierda solo se extendía la tierra marrón. Y me senté bajo el árbol, porque el calor era feroz, y todo a mi alrededor el aire latía en el horizonte.

“'No-Eyes' has fixed his attention on the fact that he is obliged to take a walk. [...] He trudges along, steadily, diligently; avoiding the muddy pools, but oblivious of the light which they reflect. 'Eyes' takes the walk too: and for him it is a perpetual revelation of beauty and wonder. The sunlight inebriates him, the winds delight him, the very effort of the journey is a joy.”
Practical Mysticism
Evelyn Underhill, 1914
SPANish — Translation
«Sin-Ojos» tiene toda su atención puesta en el hecho de que se ve obligado a dar un paseo. [...] Avanza a duras penas, con constancia y diligencia, cuidadoso de evitar los charcos lodosos, mas ciego a la luz que estos reflejan. «Ojos» recorre el mismo camino: pero para él es una revelación perpetua de belleza y maravillas. La luz del sol lo embriaga, el viento lo encanta, el mero esfuerzo del viaje es una dicha.
