Even though I was born in the United Kingdom, I moved to the Canary Islands, Spain more than 16 years ago where I finished my education in Spanish centres. I speak both languages fluently and due to the amount of foreigners on the islands, this skill has been put to good use. For many years, I have been involved in the real estate industry and again, I have had to make good use of my bilingual skills for contract purposes as well as at Public Notary offices where I perform verbal translations of property deeds, powers of attorney, wills etc.
With my own business, I am still heavily involved in translation work as I deal with police reports, law courts, notaries etc.
I also feel that it is of extreme importance the translated document retains the meaning and context of the original text so I don't believe in word by word translations as often the significance of the phrase is lost. I only forward translated texts once I am satisfied it is up to standard.
