Dear Translation Directory,

I am writing to apply for any freelance translation positions you may have within your company. I have a master's degree in Translation, Interpreting and Intercultural Studies from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and work as a freelance translator (5 years of experience), so I am looking to collaborate with an agency such as yours and develop my portfolio.

I am a native English speaker from the UK, and I have a very high level of French and Spanish as I studied both throughout university and have spent many years living in each country. Living in Barcelona has also given me a decent knowledge of Catalan, and I am available for translations with this language. Before my master's degree, I studied French Studies (with Spanish language) at the University of Leeds.

I enjoy translation for many reasons; I have always had an interest in foreign languages and cultures, so for me, it is ideal to have the opportunity to work with them. I also enjoy seeing a project through from the start to the end and researching the topic of the source text in order to ensure a solid result. Furthermore, reformulating material into my own language is interesting to me, and I also work several hours per week as an English teacher, which helps to consolidate the intricacies of my native language in my own mind.

Thanks to my education, as well as learning the relevant skills for different types of translation, such as resources for technical or legal translation, I have also learnt a lot about the technology and software used in the field. I use Trados 2017 and sometimes OmegaT as my main translation programs. I have carried out assignments in many fields such as tourism, technology, works of fiction and website translation. I can provide examples of each from my portfolio upon request.

Yours faithfully,

Patrick McCarthy
