Hi everyone!!! My name is Simona and I’m a 42-year-old Italian translator. Languages have been my cup of tea since I was just a child and I studied hard for the job of my dreams. For me, translating is an art: choosing the right words, empathizing with the characters of the books I’m translating and knowing that Italian speakers will read a book they wouldn’t read without my translation is a real pleasure for me. Translation requires a high degree of artistry and excellent technical skills. Successful translations are based on perfect understanding of both the source language and the target language, as well as the culture of speakers of both languages. Successful translations are both true to the original text (not changing, adding or subtracting any part of the meaning) and authentic in the target language, appearing or feeling to a native speaker of the target language to have originally been written in that language. Word–for-word translations are rarely successful, not only because, especially for literary translations, the nuances of writing (such as idioms and puns) would be lost, but also because cultural differences would be ignored. Thus, as a translator, I like to compare a good translation to hand-made chocolates, lovingly crafted by a master chocolatier who pours years of experience and lots of care into each delicious confection. While the chocolatier might produce a lot of chocolates that are similar, each one is unique and bears the creative DNA of its maker. And so it is with translation. Feel free to contact me!!! I’m really looking forward to translating your books!!!
