About me
I am Natalia Juan, a translator and teacher. My professional life revolves around German, English and Spanish. I enjoy immersing myself in the texts I translate and teaching students at the university where I work. My greatest satisfaction is doing work I enjoy. For me, a day ends well when I feel I have done a good job and my clients and students have found the help they needed.
I lived in Germany for 15 years, in a country I had not expected to leave, although the path we imagine is not always the one we take. I have been based in Spain again since 2018, but spend between two and three months a year in Germany to practise the language and keep up to date. During my years in Germany, I worked as an in-house translator for two companies: one in software and the other in e-commerce. I also taught at a secondary school as a Spanish language assistant. All these experiences allowed me to apply and expand the knowledge I acquired during my Translation and Interpreting studies and provided a solid foundation when I decided to become self-employed.
I work with businesses, agencies and private clients who need high-quality translation, post-editing or revision of their texts. My extensive experience, both in-house and as a freelancer, helps me understand clients’ needs, not only in relation to the text but also to other aspects of the assignment: questions, tight deadlines, formatting and more.
I am also a sworn translator for German–Spanish, appointed by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation. I provide sworn translations for individuals and companies, from academic qualifications and personal certificates to contracts, deeds, corporate documentation and court documents.
I also help businesses organise and standardise their terminology by creating and reviewing glossaries and terminology databases in German and Spanish. This enables their teams to use the same terms consistently in their documentation and communications, improving the clarity and precision of their texts.
My clients deal directly with me. I manage the entire process, from the first contact through to delivery and invoicing. For me, good collaboration is based on communication, anticipating clients’ needs and answering their questions promptly. After more than 20 years in the profession, I remain curious about languages and take satisfaction in a job well done. I want anyone who entrusts me with a project to feel reassured that a professional is taking care of it from beginning to end.
