And welcome to my profile!
My name's Tiago Luís Gomes and I'm Portuguese.
I have a bachelor in mechanical & multimedia engineering and a third one in applied languages.
I decided to start working as a freelancer 7 years ago, and I've been doing it ever since.
Until today, and as part of my bachelor in applied languages, but not limited to, I have studied the following languages:
- Portuguese;
- English;
- Spanish;
- French;
- German.
Regarding these aforementioned beauties, there are two that I feel comfortable translating to – basically the ones I’m specialized – which are Portuguese and English; therefore, and even though I work with all five, I only translate from either of them to Portuguese and English.
I still have Italian booked for the near future to complete the four most spoken Romanic languages, but right now my knowledge is limited to the abovementioned 5.
I'm also interested in languages such as Arabic & Chinese, but they're not a priority right now.
Most of my time is spent writing, either working as a freelance translator, or writing for either my book or articles.
I enjoy travelling, because that allows you to meet new people, and places, and that’s quite useful when you’re out gathering material for the characters, and landscapes you’re creating.
I work with several CAT tools, both online and desktop based, such as:
- SDL Trados;
- MemoQ;
- Memsource;
- Transifex;
- PoEdit;
- PhraseApp;
- CrowdIn;
I also work with custom made CAT tools whenever a client has one, they’re usually very user friendly, and you only take a couple minutes to figure them out.
I work with a lot of domains, I’ve decided not to specialize in any, such as medical or legal, because there's a lot of research involved whenever you’re translating something new, and that allows you to learn new things, which will then be helpful if you’re trying to create something, and as the saying goes “you can never learn too much”.
Thank you for stopping by, hopefully we’ll be working together, but if that’s not the case, then I wish you all the best for your endeavors, and life in general!
