A sports-mad translator!
I produce good sports translations because I’m a sport fanatic, a key asset, because sports texts require just as much expertise as legal and medical documents. For instance, a non-specialist might be surprised to know that, although match ball and goal average are widely used in Spanish, they mean something very different when used in English (more info here).
A skilled sports translator is able to break away from the style and structure of the source text and produce a translation that flows, using the conventions of sports writing in the target language.
A writer
Perhaps more than in any other field of translation, sports translators must be good writers. The English texts I produce are not word-for-word translations of the source text. Instead, I carefully craft my writing to communicate the same information as the source text using the conventions and style of English sports journalists.
Sailing translations
Since 2014 I have translated reports and press releases for Spindrift racing, including during their Jules Verne Trophy record attempt, giving the team and its sponsors exposure to a wider audience. For more information on my sailing expertise, click here.
Timothy went out of his way to enrich his sailing-specific vocabulary and knowledge whilst working on our projects. He was also readily available during the unsocial and unpredictable hours that a trans-atlantic sailing race requires, and his genuine enthusiasm for the projects meant that we really felt like he was an additional member of the communications team from the outside. I would recommend Timothy without hesitation!
