I am a native of both United States and Spain and am bilingual in both languages. For this reason I wish to translate books both ways on literary, fiction or non fiction sociological, historical etc themes

John william whitten

I was born in Madrid Spain from United States parents and grew up in a bilingual worrld and was educated through school in both languages and up to university level in both countries. I have a degree in Spanish and English and over thirty years of translating experience. Managing both languages is second nature to me and I have a special talent translating and being a language bridge between these languages. I have a special talent translating books originally existent in one language to the other and vice  versa taking into account the different mentalities of the contrary language in order to convey the equivalent message conveyed by a book in the other lannguage.

Author review:
John worked very hard and diligently from the beginning, the book's front cover, to the end, the back cover of the project. It was a pleasure to work with him, and he was always mindful of any suggestions and comments, and delivered the product ahead of schedule. My Spanish speaking relatives and friends, who read the translation, spoke very highly of the quality of the translation, particularly that he maintained the author's voice and the novel is a pleasure to read. Thank you very much John, for all your efforts and I'm looking forward to your translation of my other novels. Waheed Rabbani

Author review:
Juan did a wonderful job of translating this Book 2 of the series as he had done for Book 1. Most of the Spanish speaking reviewers considered it to be a close reproduction of the English version, and he reproduced the book keeping the author's voice and flow of the narrative. Juan also completed the work on time and was most receptive and obliging to any requests from the author. It was a pleasure to work with Juan.
