Care for good texts

Beautifully worded texts make your readers listen to what you’re saying. Clean, elegant writing is crucial for business success.

Distrust literalism

Unnatural translations are all too common. My advice? Refrain from literal translations and hire someone who will truly care about giving your texts a genuine flair.

Watch your spelling!

There’s always someone who will discredit you for poor writing. Get a language professional and ensure your texts comply with proper grammar, style and spelling.

Copywriting

I write engaging texts from scratch or on a briefing in Spanish and Catalan (English revised by a native speaker). Tell me your ideas and I will turn them into compelling texts.

  • Annual & progress reports

  • Catalogues, flyers, brochures

About Me

Hi there!

My name is Sílvia Ruiz and I am a senior translator and copywriter from Barcelona.

Over the last 15 years I have worked both in translation agencies and as a freelancer, but also in several company’s communication departments writing websites and corporate reports. For translations, I mostly work from English and German to Spanish and Catalan.

When it comes to writing, my style is natural, elegant and easy-to-understand. In translations, I shy away from literalism.
I work mainly with Trados and I’m backed-up by an incredible team of colleague translators and graphic designers.

Because of my outgoing nature, I have acted as a public speaker in several academic events.
In Barcelona, I sometimes escort and interpret corporate teams during business or leisure trips.

Other than that, I work as an adjunct lecturer at Pompeu Fabra University, where I teach translation courses since 2015.
