Alex Gibert Translator

I started working as a freelance translator in 2002. Since then I have dealt with almost every kind of text imaginable: from two-word marketing slogans to 400-page essays, from official documents to audiovisual poems, from contemporary bestsellers to 20th-century literary classics. I have had lots of fun in the process and the truth is, after all these years, I still enjoy every word I translate.
