Hi!

​

My name is Antoni Chaim Maroto, and I'm a freelance translator. My goal is to help companies connect with their Catalan- and Spanish-speaking customers.

​

Before settling in Salt Lake City (USA) in 2019, I previously lived in Chicago (USA), Cork (Ireland), Barcelona (Catalonia), and A Coruña and Zaragoza (Spain). Learning about the cultures and markets of these places helped enrich my translation skills.

​

These are my language pairs:

​

• English → Spanish

• English → Catalan

• Catalan ↔ Spanish

​

I also translate non-technical content (e.g., certificates, diplomas, transcripts, vital records) into English.

​

My clients are mainly individuals and businesses from Andorra, Catalonia, Latin America, Spain, and the US. While my background is in finance and marketing, I've specialized in the healthcare industry over the last few years.

​

DISCOVER: Expertise

​

A lifelong love of communication and foreign languages got me started professionally in Spain's customer care sector in 2004. For over ten years, I worked with banks and IT companies.

​

In 2010, I graduated with a licentiate degree in Translation and Interpretation from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. After that, I began freelancing by forming a partnership called BPM Traducciones. That's how I began providing freelance translation services.

​

Love brought me to the US in 2016. Relocating helped me expand my freelance career, get the ATA Certification (EN-ES), and start my business AM Language Services to provide:

​

• Translation

• Localization

• Transcreation

• Interpretation

• Transcription

• Editing

​

While I believe that translation, localization, and transcreation are human processes, I also value how technology helps me produce work more precisely and efficiently. For instance, I process plain/formatted text with Memsource – a cloud-based translation tool. For non-editable files, I use PDFelement Pro.

​

I transcribe audio/video files with the Infinity foot pedal and Transcribe by Wreally – an online tool that integrates a media player and a text editor in a single window.

​

Additionally, I provide on-site, non-certified interpretation services (consecutive and simultaneous) to law firms (e.g., depositions) and hospitals and clinics (e.g., workers' compensation cases).

​

CHECK: Services

​

Continuing education is a must to excel in this profession and meet clients' needs at all times. That's I participate in events and take courses related to my industry and specializations.

​

In 2019, DePaul University invited me to speak about my pro-bono work at the workshop "Interpretation & Translation – Gateways to Community Service & Network Engagement."
