About Me

Photo - Rachael Douglas.jpg

My name is Rachael Douglas and I am a professional freelance translator. I am fluent in both French and Spanish and thus am engaged in translating from these languages into English. I approach projects with commitment and diligence, enabling me to produce high-quality translations and meet deadlines with reliability. I translate texts from a wide range of fields, and I have expertise in the production of accurate technical translations. I love literature, and I consider translation to be an essential part of the modern world. I also provide English transcription services. I am an Associate of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting.
