Jaime
Jaime is (admittedly) a translation quality fanatic and will never give up fighting with a sentence until it sounds natural and right in Spanish. Born and raised in Madrid, Spain, he holds a Bachelor of Arts in Translation and Interpretation from Complutense University, Madrid, and a highest level English certificate by the Spanish Official School of Languages. He has been living in France for three years and is married to a French woman, all of which allows him to provide high quality English to Spanish and French to Spanish translations. He is an expert translator for texts and websites dealing with advertising and marketing, business and economics, computers and hardware, education, political sciences and journalism. All his specializations are backed up by his translation experience and educational background. The latter entails almost 300 hours of university-level education in the field of economics and business administration, several professional development courses on website localization and Spanish copywriting, a year in Computer Science studies at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (Móstoles, Madrid), and a course of programming under Windows. He is experienced in translating into Iberian Spanish (for Spain) and also into neutral Spanish (for the wide Hispanic audience).
