Tradução é um trabalho árduo e gratificante.

Traduzir ideias de um idioma para outro incorre em perda de significado e na criação de novos. Manter a essência das ideias do texto e, ao mesmo tempo, tornar compreensíveis as diferenças culturais refletidas na forma de expressão dos falantes nativos, é mais do que um mero quebra-cabeça: é um exercício de empatia por outros seres humanos que nunca veremos.

Não importa se é tradução técnica ou não.

Quem lerá nossas traduções serão humanos.

Regardless of whether the translation is technical or not, it really doesn’t matter.

Humans will be reading our translations.

Humans like us, who work behind the curtains.

Lost (and Found) in Translation 1 - english

Translation is indeed a world apart. Different people with different background, focused to bring from one language to another diverse and disparate content, surpassing cultural and regional barriers, “landing” the contents in a “land” that can have distinct landscapes, fauna and flora. The result, depending on the original content, can be a recreation of the text as a new work, but with the preserved context and content. A real puzzle for those who like challenges. The “tr
