      Freelance

      Part-time translator and interpreter for agencies and direct clients.Some clients say:"Paula Ribeiro has translated technical manuals and guides from English into Portuguese. These translations included user instructions, installation manuals and hardware and software descriptions. She acquired the knowledge and vocabulary that is needed in our field and is used to work under a great pressure, with very tight deadlines, showing every time a high level of proficiency. Our manuals are written either in FrameMaker format or Word documents and Paula Ribeiro quickly learned how to use these software and the CAT tools required. For these reasons we do not hesitate to recommend Paula Ribeiro for any translation work within the electrotechnical field."
