a dream to work with
“Lucia was a dream to work with. She prepared herself ahead of time by doing research on both the films and the guests she’d be interpreting for. She was also a reliable go-to for any last-minute screenings or panels. I always knew I could count on her to be prompt and professional.”
— Kristin Boivin, Hotdocs International Documentary Film Festival
Services
Translation
Have Spanish text but need to connect with English readers? I take your Spanish and transform it into effective, fit-for-purpose English.
Interpreting
Want to include a Spanish speaker at your event? I make sure they sound just as good in English as they do in Spanish.
Subtitling
Don’t let craptions detract from your content. My readable captions in natural English mean your viewers understand without confusion or stress.
Editing
Confusing your reader is the quickest way to lose them. I take your English texts and ensure they’re accurate, clear, and polished.
I have worked with
¡Hola!
I’m Lucía.
I’m a Spanish-to-English film, arts and marketing translator.
I work with filmmakers, brands, and cultural organizations to transform Spanish-language content, copy, and voices into English. As a native English speaker of Colombian heritage with M.A.s in Spanish and Translation, I use my deep cultural knowledge and clear communication to give you the natural and nuanced English you need to not only connect with your audience, but captivate and influence it.
With Tranvía, I acknowledge that excellent translation cannot be produced alone, so I engage closely with my clients and always work with an editor.
Lucia’s translation was instrumental
“When I interviewed Leyner Palacios, the subject of Bojayá: Caught in the Crossfire, Lucia’s translation was instrumental. I speak Spanish, but I couldn’t have dealt with the lengthy and emotional responses that I required of my guest. Lucia is skilled and was able to convey translated speech even under the eye of the live camera transmission we did at Thatchannel.com. Bravo!”
