PT Translator — Medical, TECH & EU Affairs Expert

Vítor Cortes is a professional European Portuguese Translator working as a freelancer for over a decade (15+ years). He caught fire translating when he saw the lost-in-translation checkable fact in a clinical setting in his final year as an internship medical student in Australia. Just as crucial as healthcare, language is overriding too. Back again in Portugal, he started his MA in Languages and Translation. After successfully completing his MA, he applied for a Portuguese Translator position at the Translation Centre for the Bodies of the European Union. As an In-House Translator (2006–2011), he worked in the domains of education, employment, culture, transport, research and innovation, social affairs, environment, energy, chemistry, property rights, law, budget and finance, foreign and security policy, police and judicial cooperation, public health, and consumer protection. After acquiring hands-on experience, he focused his work on the medical, and technical, as well as related to the EU and international institutions, bodies, offices, and agencies. In brief and now in the first-person singular, if you want to chat and do business on the provision of European Portuguese translation services, drop me a line via email or direct message. In a hurry? Submit your document as an attachment and get a free quote in no time. Response time: 10–30 min. (8 a.m. to 11 p.m. UTC +1).

I am so happy that I came across Vitor. He is a very reliable translator who is very.. very cooperative, very conscientious and extremely sensitive to his client's needs and deadline. I am very happy with Pablo, and won't use anyone else in Portuguese.

I would personally recommend this freelancer as it was a good experience to work with him , he did great work, worked hard to meet the time frame and ended the translation before that. He updated me on his progress and the communication with him was great. Overall great freelancer experience. will hire again for translation jobs.
