About Alda Lima

Hello! I'm an English – Brazilian Portuguese translator with 15 years of experience, 58 books translated, over hours as an interpreter, and experience in editing, proofreading, transcription, transcreation, localization, LQA, and MTPE. Aside from literature, my expertise includes games, marketing, UI and UX, websites, luxury retail, fashion, beauty & cosmetics, travel & hospitality, sustainability & environment, among others. My focus is mainly on creative content and making it highly localized for Brazilian Portuguese or English-speaking audiences. Finally, I sometimes write professional book reports for Brazilian Publishing Houses. Direct and agency clients include several Brazilian publishers, companies, and brands like Classpass, Ray-Ban, Oakley, Life.io, Club Med, Rolex, Shakespeare in the Ruins, and NGOs like Mercy for Animals (where I'm a volunteer translator), which led me to have a volunteer translation published by the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization in 2021. My academic and professional background combines arts, fashion, and communication, so my focus is mainly on creative translation content that's highly localized for its audience. I take pride in working hard, bringing fresh ideas, challenging thinking, and seeking new opportunities to improve :) Google Ads and Proz certified.
