A dedicated resource for translation agencies
TranslationFlorida.com is the professional practice of a freelance linguist based in Florida, specializing in English to Spanish and Italian to Spanish translation, subtitling, and localization. I work exclusively with translation agencies and language service providers as a subcontractor—providing the flexibility, expertise, and reliability you need to serve your clients.
My role is simple: to make your job easier. When your project load exceeds your in-house capacity, when you need a specialist for a specific language pair, or when a deadline requires additional resources, I function as an extension of your team. I deliver work that integrates seamlessly into your workflow—adhering to your style guides, respecting your terminology preferences, and meeting your quality standards.
The Florida advantage
Being based in Florida offers distinct benefits for agency partnerships:
Time zone alignment
Operating in the Eastern Time Zone means I am accessible during standard business hours for East Coast agencies. Real-time communication, same-day responses, and no overnight delays on urgent queries.
Market understanding
Florida’s diverse Hispanic population provides daily exposure to the linguistic variants and cultural references that matter for the U.S. Spanish-speaking market. From Caribbean influences to Mexican and South American Spanish, I understand the nuances that produce translations resonating with American audiences.
Stateside professionalism
The reliability and accountability of a domestic partner. Clear communication, professional business practices, and understanding of U.S. industry standards.
Language pairs & expertise
English to Spanish
Full range of document types including legal, technical, marketing, and general business. Familiar with both U.S. and international Spanish variations. Particular expertise in content for the American Hispanic market.
Italian to Spanish
Drawing on linguistic similarities and important distinctions between these Romance languages to produce translations that capture nuance and avoid false cognates. Experience with Italian business culture and communication styles.
All work is into my native Spanish, ensuring natural, culturally-appropriate output.
I understand that as a translation agency, you need subcontractors who reduce your workload rather than increase it. My approach is built on:
Clear Communication – Prompt responses, proactive updates on project status, and questions asked when source material is ambiguous rather than assumptions made.
Deadline Reliability – I commit only to timelines I can meet. If a deadline is not feasible, I say so upfront—allowing you to plan accordingly.
Quality Delivery – Work delivered ready for your client or your internal QA process. Meticulous attention to terminology, consistency, and cultural appropriateness.
Workflow Integration – Comfortable with major CAT tools, translation management systems, and various file formats. I adapt to your processes rather than requiring you to adapt to mine.
Confidentiality – All project materials treated as strictly confidential. Willing to sign NDAs as required by your agency or end clients.

Subtitling – Subtitle Edit, Aegisub, EZTitles, familiarity with Netflix and Amazon specifications
