3E Translations – Sarah Jane Aberásturi

3E Translations stands for Excellence, Experience and Enthusiasm:

Excellence – Painstaking research, close attention to the tiniest nuances and details, faithful transfer of the tone and intent of the original, all tweaked as appropriate for the target readership.

Experience – Almost 30 years working alongside my clients to craft translations that are true to their source, yet read like originals. Expertise acquired in many fields, especially science and medicine, arts and culture.

Enthusiasm – I love to partner with individuals and organisations to nurture their passions and projects into life across cultural and linguistic barriers – giving them wings, making them shine.

I work largely in science and medicine, the arts and humanities, translating from German, Spanish and Catalan into English, my mother tongue. For other fields, please ask me.

On behalf of all the Committee, I’d like to express our grateful thanks for your time and effort. Your workshop was excellent with lots of relevant updates. You covered a lot of subject-matter, all of which was extremely well-documented.
The candidates certainly found it most worthwhile and endorsed our decision to establish it as a prerequisite to sitting the exam.
