“Every project is a new
challenge”

As a translator, editor and proofreader, I am passionate about my work.

I hold a double degree in English Studies and Translation and Interpreting and am continuously dedicated to pursuing further training in this field. I am currently studying a Master’s programme in Institutional Translation.

Officially qualified as a Sworn English Translator-Interpreter since 1999, my specialty fields include law, marketing and business, human resources, commerce, education, tourism, health, nutrition and social issues.

Institutional Translation in various areas including cooperation and development, inequality, international policies and relations, environment and children’s rights is the main source of motivation in my work and professional practice.

One of my priorities is to maintain a direct, fluid and ongoing relationship with each of my clients. Building solid and effective relationships, based on trust and discretion is my personal approach.

Administratively she is always efficient, her instructions are clear, she is friendly, flexible and understanding, but also firm. She goes to a lot of trouble to provide a good service.”

    Charles Davis
    Freelance Spanish > English translator Valencia, Spain

  • “I met Carmen Maestro in 2009. From the beginning, I felt impressed by her work. She is a really thorough and qualified professional, and I was very lucky to learn a lot from her suggestions, which she always communicated clearly and kindly. When I need a fellow translator to help me with any project, Carmen is my first choice, as I am sure that she will deliver a high-quality, well-documented and timely translation. She always surpasses my expectations. Indeed, the best professional linguist I have ever met.”

    Ramón Olivares
    Traductor EN > ES/GL info@rolivares.net

  • “After meticulous process I found M. Carmen Maestro and her company BABEL TRADUCCIONES at Proz.com. I pocked her and her company because of exceptional testimonials and user satisfaction. The project we worked and are still working on is more complex than standard translation. It requires more effort and coordination. I am completely satisfied with provided service and will definitely use her translation & proofreading services in the future.”

    Zoran Marincic
