About My name is Sonia, and I'm a professional translator who specializes in video game localization and multimedia translation in the language combination English to European Spanish. I have a bachelor in Translation and Interpreting and a postgraduate in Video Game Translation and Localization. What captivates me about my profession is how the translator works as a bridge between two cultures for information and entertainment without barriers.
