ProZ.com 2008 Annual Translation Contest winner English to Portuguese ProZ.com 2008 Annual Translation Contest winner German to Portuguese



Hello there,


My name is Fabio Said. I'm a Brazilian-born Portuguese translator and interpreter based in Germany, specialising in financial and legal content since 1993.


First of all, you should be aware that Brazilian Portuguese and Iberian Portuguese are two really different language variants, and that such differences really only play an important part when it comes to high-quality language services for demanding clients. For more information, please refer to an article I wrote about Brazilian Portuguese and how it differs from European/Iberian Portuguese.


I earned a Diploma in Translation (DipTrans) in the UK for English-Portuguese as well as additional qualifications in Germany (staatlich geprüfter Übersetzer für Portugiesisch, staatlich geprüfter Dolmetscher für Portugiesisch) and Brazil (Técnico em Tradutor-Intérprete inglês-português). All of those involved at least one exam related to special subjects, such as legal, financial, corporate, marketing and sociology.


In addition to my qualifications, I'm absolutely committed to continuing professional development as a translator and interpreter. Throughout the years, I've attended many seminars and conferences to learn from the best and hone my skills – including the ATA Annual Conference, BDÜ-Fachkonferenz, BP, Fachkonferenz Sprache und Recht and memoQfest. I also held presentations at several of those. See an extensive record of attended CPD events here:
https://linguabrasilis.de/en/seminars-and-conferences/


A highlight in my career was winning the highly competitive, peer-reviewed 1st Annual ProZ.com Translation Contest in 2008 (see images above) for both my main language combinations: English to Brazilian Portuguese and German to Brazilian Portuguese. I'm a former member of the CertifiedPRO Network (membership lapsed after I decided not to be a paying member of this website anymore).


Another highlight was when I wrote two guidebooks for Portuguese translators: Fidus Interpres (2010) and Guia do Tradutor (2013), each with an accompanying translation blog. I've also been writing articles on translation, terminology and translation technology for journals, magazines and blogs in the US, Germany and Brazil.


Several book translations of mine have been published in Brazil, as I've been a non-fiction book translator since 2002, mostly in the fields of philosophy, law, sociology and psychology. Which means, I know what it takes to publish high-quality content for professional use.


CAT tools have been a part of my daily work as a translator since the early 2000s, and I'm an advanced user of memoQ translator pro, SDL Trados Studio and Wordfast Pro. The latter is currently my preferred CAT tool. I am not willing to work with other translation environment tools, especially proprietary ones and those that are online-based.


In Germany, I'm licensed as a sworn translator and court interpreter, performing certified translations and legal interpreting jobs throughout the country. This service, however, is not available for translation companies, other translators/interpreters and other kinds of intermediaries.

Looking forward to a collaboration with you,


Fabio
