My way to becoming a marketing translator

Foreign languages have always fascinated me. My adventure with languages started with English, like in case of the majority of people born in the 90’s; I had English classes in a primary school. Learning this language was so interesting that I participated in many competitions. Later on, I improved my English skills in a language school and during trips abroad (trips with friends, a language camp, student exchange programs).

Three years later, I started learning French in a DELF class (doubled number of French classes). The name comes from a French language exam DELF (diplôme de la langue française). As French was another language I loved, I continued learning it the next 9 years, at school and university.

At the university, I started learning Russian and Spanish. I have always known that Spanish is a beautiful language, but never thought it would impress me so much. I decided to do a Master in Spanish Translation and Interpreting.

It was in that time at the university when I actually translated my first documents. After many years of learning various languages, and a few years of translating, I realized I wanted to be a translator in the future. To do so I continued my academic education and studied in a Postgraduate Diploma for Translators of Specialized Texts in Polish and Spanish.

Working as a marketing translator

During the internships in Poland and abroad, I had an opportunity to make use of my language and translation skills. This was a very enriching experience.

Then, I worked as a freelance English translator for about 6 months. I was translating general and marketing English texts into Polish, and writing copies in Polish related to banking sector, and fashion and food industries.

Since 3 years, I have translated English and Spanish marketing content into Polish, i.e., information brochures, leaflets, social media and website content, business cards, etc., related to running, tourism and hospitality. I have also subtitled TED Talks from English and Spanish into Polish since 2021. Apart from that, I have edited Polish copies. More about my services.

In 2020, I started my translation business przeTŁUMACZ, as I wanted to work as an independent translator. Since then, I have translated more than 42.000 words, and worked with individuals and companies.
