FREELANCE MACHINE TRANSLATION
POST-EDITOR (EN>IT / ES>IT)
MTPE FOR DIALOGUES, SUBTITLES, AND MEDIA CONTENT
Creative fields like audiovisual media and marketing demand a level of nuance and human intuition that machine translation simply cannot match. Machine-generated output often misses subtle cultural context, wordplay, and idiomatic phrasing. That’s where expert human intervention makes all the difference between a mechanical translation and a captivating viewer experience.
If you leverage Machine Translation (MT) to streamline costs and turnarounds, I offer specialized Post-Editing (MTPE) services. Simply send over your machine-translated files alongside your project guidelines and style guides. I will refine, correct, and elevate the text to ensure a natural, accurate, and high-quality result that preserves the original tone, intent, and impact.
I pay meticulous attention to terminology consistency, register, cultural adaptation, and technical constraints, delivering polished content ready for distribution.
EXPERIENCE
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Linguistic Mediation from Macerata University (Italy), my final dissertation was about Afro-American English and its representation through the media. I then specialised in audiovisual translation and media accessibility through a Master’s Degree in Seville (Spain).
I then did several internships at subtitling agencies of various European countries, amongst these I completed my last traineeship at the audiovisual unit of the European Parliament in Luxembourg.
Later, I spent a year collaborating with a dubbing studio in Rome, providing dubbing assistance, post-production script transcription, and dialogue translation.

Turnaround times depend on text length, MT quality, technical complexity, linguistic varieties, and overall project scope. Highly creative content naturally requires more post-editing care than straightforward technical material.
Drop me a line with details about your content, and we can evaluate and schedule a timeline that fits your workflow.WHY DO YOU FOCUS EXCLUSIVELY ON SPECIFIC SECTORS?
While all translators share a common foundation, true mastery comes from specializing in specific fields. Deepening expertise in a dedicated domain ensures top-tier quality.
I specialize in creative and media-focused translation, which is why I don’t handle certified or legal translations. To put it into perspective, you wouldn’t ask a dermatologist to perform an eye exam! Focusing on what I am truly passionate about gives my work a distinct edge in quality and nuance.WHY DO YOU ONLY TRANSLATE INTO YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGE?
No matter how fluent someone becomes in a second language, nothing matches the instinct, rhythm, and natural resonance of a native speaker.
Professional translators work into their native language to ensure the highest standard of writing, creativity, and flow. On the rare occasions where a translation into a foreign language is required, I collaborate with native proofreaders to guarantee flawless quality and tone.
