5. Confidentiality

6. Honesty * Commitment * Professionalism

7. Competitive rates

8. Collaboration with direct clients, agencies, freelance colleagues, companies and individuals.

9. Message Transfer & Intercultural Adaptation: I studied some undergraduate translation courses with and sat in on postgraduate translation classes of some well-known Portuguese scholars who had finished PhD education from ISCAP (School of Accounting and Administration of Porto, Portugal). I therefore put emphasis on not only actual message transfer from source to target language but also cultural adaptation to suit the target culture. Advantages: The final product is message-focused and culturally appropriate.

10. Quality Service: I prioritize faithfulness to a source text and its messages, and translation accuracy. My translation also captures style and tone of the source text, aims at the same target audience, and is idiomatic, fluent and readable in the target language. Besides, my work is translation-editing-proofreading process which is quality-assured. Advantages: Quality product is what you get.

11. Diverse Background & Experience

12. Native Portuguese: I strongly believe that a translator should not translate into none but the mother tongue. Advantages: Ability to comprehend sophisticated Portuguese language in both written and verbal forms, deliver natural, fluent Portuguese speech and writing, and produce work that is up to par and conforms to the norm for you.
