SPREAD KNOWLEDGE TO BEYOND THE FRONTIERS OF THE LANGUAGE.
Isn’t that great? In a nutshell, that is the translator’s work – and was also why I fell in love with the profession.
Twenty years ago, when I had just graduated from one of Brazil’s best universities, I was just starting out in my professional life. After a work placement in a small translation agency, I was then taken on as an in-house translator at a leading player on this market. After some years, I felt inside me a burning desire to venture into entrepreneurship, and then, together with some colleagues, established our very own translation company. However, in a short time it dawned on me that my real cup of tea was to work on a freelance basis: this brings a lifestyle which allows me to dedicate myself to what I best know how to do, something that makes me happy and also keeps my clients satisfied.
My name is Luciana Janson and I would now like to invite you to get to know more about me and about my work in the sections that follow. Join me on this ride!
Areas
Anyone who is not familiar with the translation market tends to get taken by surprise at the sheer scope of it. Remember the instructions for that pill that you take when you get that annoying headache? And what about the user manual of your smartphone? It is highly probable that both these were translated material. This is also the case with that board game that you would play with your friends, from hours on end, on countless afternoons during your holidays; that incredible news report with your favorite singer, that came out in a blog; the travel guide that you used during your last holidays; the packaging of your deodorant – and many other things that never even cross one’s mind.
However, this host of possibilities also brings a serious limitation: the fact that is utterly impossible for one single translator to handle and translate any kind of text. Consider my case: I have worked with texts in many fields, but I identify myself most with the areas mentioned below. So check it out!

Career Development
I am very curious and love to study, and for this reason one of the great advantages of my chosen profession is that this is a job that allows me to do this all day long. On top of having solid knowledge in my specialities, knowledge amassed over many years, I also need to be well informed about new developments in each sector – and also, of course, the new developments in language.
And the courses and conferences I attend help me with this task.
