If it’s nit too late, I’d like to nominate myself for a seat in the Marketing Guild.
My name is Juan Carlos. I am a newcomer and I have been following the Threshold forum in the shadows for some months now. I believe in the project and I do think that I can be of help for its development.
The reason why I do think I can help the team is because I am a communication-worker. I work as a translator. I have been in the translation industry since year 2001. During this time I have been involved in many projects and translated millions of words for big IT & localization customers (Microsoft, Oracle or Google, for instance) among many other clients. Back in 2001 I started working in a Spanish translation company. During my career, I have successfully worked as translator, junior project manager, senior project manager and office manager. Therefore, besides translation, I also have skills in team and project management. In 2011 I decided to continue my career as freelancer and now I am the owner of my time and I have the freedom to work in whichever project I believe in. Threshold is one of them.
My work is all about building bridges between people and helping them communicate.
This is what I can offer to the team:
Translation & L10N from English, French, Italian and Portuguese into Spanish.
Translation management services for other language combinations: I do not speak Chinese, Japanese or Korean, but I do have the experience and
the knowledge to search and find resources able to provide those services, as well as coordinate their work (should the need arise).
Knowledge of Computer Assisted Translation tools (not to be confused with machine translation) that can streamline the translation process.
Marketing tasks like reviewing of content, face to face contact with potential clients or collaborators.
These are only some of my strengths. Apart from this, I consider myself a quick learner (as a translator, I am constantly investigating and documenting about tons of subjects in order to produce quality translations) and a very open-minded person (I consider this a direct consequence of investigating and acquiring knowledges in so many different fields).
Last but not least, I would like to emphasize on the fact that in spite of working alone as a freelancer, I consider myself a good team player. That is because as freelancer I usually have to coordinate my work with other translators and project managers.
