Translation is more than replacing one word for another. It’s about conveying ideas, conveying meaning. And doing this while respecting and reflecting the style and format of the original text. This requires a high level of language competency, cultural knowledge, and familiarity with the subject area. This is where I come in! I’m Karla, a trained translator with a love for languages and cultures. That love, plus my desire to help others communicate in a meaningful way, led me to translation. I obtained an associate degree in Technical Spanish/Translation and Interpretation from Oklahoma State University, Oklahoma City and a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish, with an emphasis in literature, from the University of California, Riverside. Since 2016, my translation services have concentrated in the fields of education (Pre-K-12), communications, and human resources.
To remain current with translation trends, technology and tools, I pursue continual professional growth through webinars, conferences, and classes. I am a member of the American Translators Association (ATA) and the ATA Spanish Language Division. I seek to utilize the latest technology and best practices in order to ensure your message is conveyed clearly and faithfully through accurate translations that resonate with your target audience.
You’ve put a lot of time, thought, and effort in creating the right message to your audience. Allow me to take the same amount of care in translating your work. I will be happy to discuss your translation project and answer any questions you have along the way. You can send me a message or email me at ksopher@kystranslations.com.
