Author review: María had translated the book beautifully from English to Spanish. The quality of the translation was very good. María was also very professional, co-operative and friendly while carrying out the task of translating the book. I appreciated her professionalism, especially when she was trying to make sure that the terms were properly translated, with all the translated books having the same words for the terms. I highly recommend her translation services. I hope I will be able to work with her again, in the future.
