MACRO-ATTENTION AND MICRO-ATTENTION

11/09/2010 12:53

When I am working on a text, be it a translation assignment or a text I am revising, two different skills are paramount: broad comprehension ("macro-attention") and the ability to focus sharply ("micro-attention"). In other words, on the one hand I need to make sure that terminology is used consistently and that the overall message is complete and coherent, and on the other hand, that the new text conveys exactly what it was meant to convey and that it is fit for its intended receiver.

I usually schedule a few minutes break during the working day in order to keep my mind awake and fresh, so that I am sure I don't lose the overall picture while I am still paying attention to detail. My clients appreciate that.

It’s all about people and communication

I believe that translation is not just about rendering messages accurately into another language, but also understanding WHO the message is intended for and WHAT its intended use is.

I am committed to offering you a quality service that will exceed your requirements and expectations.

I have very good organizational skills, so when I take on a project, you can relax and leave it to me. I always aim to send my translation back before the agreed deadline and I am always happy to learn to use new software or technology. If something is not crystal clear or if the content doesn´t seem fully appropriate for its intended addressee, I will certainly discuss it with you and offer you an alternative that would work well in the eyes of a Spanish-speaker.
