Without giving any notice, I asked Clara to translate my car insurance policy as soon as possible. Clara translated the document in a very professional manner and I get no queries from the insurance company in relation to the accuracy of the document. I was very happy with Clara’s work and I would recommend her services.

My sincere thanks for the work Clara has done. I appreciate her taking a genuine interest in me, my business and doing so in such an approachable but professional manner.

Lydienne W., IT-EN translator

Mi sono rivolta a Clara per una consulenza riguardo alla mia attività di traduttrice, da poco intrapresa. Ho trovato in lei grande disponibilità e professionalità. La mia richiesta era piuttosto complessa e credo anche “atipica” per tutta una serie di domande che le ho posto. Clara non solo ha saputo rispondere a tutti i miei interrogativi, documentando e giustificando ogni informazione fornita, ma mi ha anche regalato spunti interessanti e consigli preziosi che solo una collega può dare. Credo che sia non solo un’ottima traduttrice, ma anche un’eccellente consulente per traduttori.
Isabella Pattarini, RU/EN-IT translator specialising in tourism – ProZ.com

Ho avuto il piacere di conoscere Clara per caso, parlando di traduzione con una mia cugina. Pochi giorni dopo abbiamo chiaccherato a lungo su Skype e da lì sono usciti consigli utili che mi hanno permesso innanzitutto di capire chi sono come traduttrice. Clara mi ha evidenziato quali sono i punti di forza del mio curriculum, gli aspetti che contraddistinguono il mio profilo di traduttrice. In questo modo, con il suo aiuto, sono riuscita a mettere a punto un curriculum più funzionale e una pratica lettera di presentazione.
Grazie a lei, inoltre, ho appreso alcuni elementi utili per inoltrare autocandidature ad agenzie di traduzione e ad aziende, cogliendo le differenti strategie da adottare nell’uno e nell’altro caso. Clara mi ha consigliato poi alcune letture inerenti la stesura del curriculum da traduttrice.
Abbiamo parlato anche di preventivi e tariffe. Questo è il tema su cui mi sono rimasti alcuni dubbi. Clara mi ha consigliato tariffe che, purtroppo, sembrano essere superiori alla media. La sua opinione è infatti quella di non abbassare eccessivamente le tariffe; evidentemente non è una pratica applicata da tutti.
Grazie alla sua consulenza mi sento più sicura quando mi presento come traduttrice. Grazie mille, Clara!
