Prof Translations

Certified CMI-Spanish, expert in Life Sciences, Medicine, Legal, Contracts and Reports translations with over 10 years of experience, currently Chair Representative of IMIA in Mexico working on the standarization of language access.

Hello! My name is Vilma Hinkelammert. I´m a Costa Rican translator, a Spanish philologist and I´m studying for a Master´s Degree in linguistics. I have also worked as proofreader and copy editor for academic journals. I have experience in different fields such as education, e-commerce, linguistics, social sciences, migration and websites. I have been working as a freelance translator for the last five years and as proofreader for the last ten years. I consider myself extremely reliable when it comes to deadlines and confidentiality, and I have the necessary linguistic and cultural knowledge to adapt written English texts to Latin American Spanish.

I am a transcreation and localisation specialist with six years' experience in the translation industry, focusing on advertising, marketing and e-commerce. Sparking a brand's sentiment and ethos across a different market and creating resonance through words - that's what I do.

I enjoy translation for many reasons. I have always had an interest in foreign languages and cultures, so it is a pleasure for me to have the opportunity to work with them. I also find the process of researching a subject to ensure a solid translation to be particularly satisfying, as well as investigating the expressive possibilities of my target language, an aspect of the translation process that is often overlooked and yet an important element of the quality of the final product. I have experience using tools such as Trados or Memsource, as well as the various reliable reference sources for each language (DIEC; Treccani; RAE; Τριανταφυλλίδη...). The type of translation that most attracts my attention is literary, although I have extensive demonstrable experience in the field of technical translation (recent projects being for the nautical and stone industry). Please refer to my CV for details, and descriptions of various assignments I have carried out.
