Hi, I’m Selene, an EN–ES translator specialized in healthcare, medicine & education. I work only in fields I know well, to ensure accuracy, clarity and reliable translations. 🔗 acrosstraducciones.com #xl8 #t9n

La IA puede generar traducciones que parecen correctas... y no serlo. ¿Hasta dónde conviene confiar? 👉wp.me/p8ocvZ-14v #Traducción #IA #Lenguaje

Fluent doesn't always mean accurate. Translation is a series of decisions. Human judgement helps preserve meaning while making the text sound natural. #Translation #AI #LanguageMatters

English accounts for 49.7% of web content. Spanish, despite being one of the world's most spoken languages, accounts for just 6.1%. Translation helps valuable information reach more people. #Translation #LanguageAccess

Fifteen years since my first paid translation. A lot has changed since then, but experience is about more than efficiency. It's knowing which questions to ask, what to research, and which details deserve a second look. #Translation #LanguageMatters

As the World Cup continues, here's a linguistic question: why do Americans say "soccer" while the British say "football"? The answer is surprisingly English.⚽ See it in my latest blog post in Spanish: wp.me/p8ocvZ-14i #Etymology

Why is "trillionaire" often translated as "billonario" in Spanish? Because large numbers don't work the same way in both languages. #Translation #Linguistics

Fluent AI output can feel reliable even when something is inaccurate or misleading. In healthcare and education texts, that difference matters a lot. #Translation #AI #PlainLanguage

¿Por qué "trillionaire" se traduce como "billonario"? ¿Y por qué en Estados Unidos dicen "soccer" en lugar de "football"? Dos curiosidades lingüísticas a partir de las noticias de esta semana. ⚽📚 👉wp.me/p8ocvZ-14i #Etimología #Idiomas #Traducción #Lenguaje #Fútbol

A translation can preserve the original meaning and still feel hard to process for the reader. That matters even more in healthcare and education texts. #Translation #PlainLanguage

AI in translation goes far beyond MT. Many translators already use it for terminology, ambiguity checks, readability or tone adaptation. The key is knowing when human judgment still matters. #Translation #AI

May was quieter at first, then suddenly busy again with healthcare and education projects plus my usual Spanish lessons. Also finished a short DTP course this month. Not my main area, but understanding formatting workflows definitely helps in real projects. #Translation #DTP

LLMs can produce translations that sound natural and fluent even when something is inaccurate or misleading. That’s what makes human oversight so important. #Translation #AI #MachineTranslation

La traducción no solo transmite textos: también construye tradiciones y amplía horizontes culturales. Más sobre esto: wp.me/p8ocvZ-12C #traducción #traducciónliteraria #lectura

IA, traducción automática, LLM… muchas veces se mezclan como si fueran lo mismo. En este artículo explico las diferencias, cómo se usan en traducción y por qué el criterio humano sigue siendo clave. 👉wp.me/p8ocvZ-12R #Traducción #IA #Lenguaje

This week I translated IEPs, psychoeducational evaluations and public health materials. None were MTPE projects. Some texts still need fully human translation, especially when clarity and nuance matter. #Translation #MTPE #MedicalTranslation #xl8

“Hypertension” works in clinical texts. For patients, “high blood pressure” may communicate better. Same concept, different audience. #MedicalTranslation #PlainLanguage #HealthcareCommunication

“Adverse effect” and “side effect” are often treated as synonyms. In Spanish, the choice depends on context and level of precision. Clarity is not simplification. #MedicalTranslation #Terminology #HealthcareCommunication

Translation decisions don’t just affect a text. They shape what a culture reads and how it reads it. More on this here (in Spanish): wp.me/p8ocvZ-12C #translation #publishing #literature

3 books every literary translator should read. From Borges to Grossman, they show how translation shapes literature and culture. Read more (in Spanish): wp.me/p8ocvZ-12C #translation #literarytranslation #translators

In translation, the challenge is rarely finding a correct option. It’s choosing the one that fits best in context. That’s where the real work is. #Translation #TranslationProcess #Terminology #TranslatorsLife
