People usually do not give much importance to translation and yet it is a pillar for today’s society. In a globalised world, where so many languages are spoken, how would you access to other people’s research, thinking, opinion, vision, culture, business, literary book, politics, … if it were not for those invisible individuals that provide you with the key to unlock such secrets?

REC0MMENDATIONS
“Working with Ana Catarina has been a fun and exciting process. She brings a level of professionalism to her work that gives me great confidence in the project. At the same time, corresponding with Ana Catarina is relaxed and informative. Ana Catarina has translated two novels of mine already, and we are considering more titles in the future. I can’t recommend Ana Catarina highly enough. If you’re looking for a forward thinking translator for business and/or fiction projects, look no further.” Chris Paton
