Language consultancy for European Portuguese
Before translating, there are decisions to make: which variant, which terminology, which tone, which review process. When those decisions aren’t written down, every translator makes their own, and it shows.
I help companies and agencies define and document those choices for European Portuguese, and assess whether the translations they receive follow them.
What it covers
- Glossaries and termbases
- European Portuguese style guides
- Vendor and machine translation engine assessment
- Translation memory audits: Brazilian Portuguese markers and inconsistencies
- Localisation strategy for European and Brazilian Portuguese
Frequently asked questions
- Can a translation for Brazil be used in Portugal?
- It can be a starting point, but it rarely works without adaptation. I assess the text or memory, estimate the work required and suggest the most cost-effective process to reach European Portuguese.
- What does a style guide include?
- The decisions that recur across every text: form of address, spelling standard, number and date formats, preferred and forbidden terms, brand tone and examples.
