​I’ve translated for several major international museums, including the Prado and Vatican Museums, the Phillips Collection, the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, and a number of smaller institutions. I’m also a member of the American Alliance of Museums; if you have any questions about my work, I’d be happy to grab a coffee at their next conference.
Pricing
You can find someone cheaper. But before taking a chance on a low-cost translator or agency, consider that, in terms of your museum's reputation, a poor translation could look worse than no translation at all, and you may end up paying someone else to do it again. Translators charge the rates that they're able to command.

My prices include revision by a second professional linguist. Contact me for a commitment-free quote.
volume discount
​Depending on my availability, discounts may be available for projects larger than 10,000 words.
editing for museums
I’ve found that many smaller museums prefer to translate their documents in-house and then hire a translator to revise it. This is an effective way to cut costs, since revision is typically much more affordable than translation.
​
A word of warning: if you opt to do this (it’s not a bad idea!), I strongly recommend getting the documents translated by a native speaker of the target language. Revision is charged by the hour, so revision of a poor in-house translation (which would take much longer to revise) could end up costing more than a translation.
other languages
One of the advantages of working with a translation agency, rather than freelance linguist like me, is that they can translate your project into several languages. I’m trying to change this: though I personally only translate between Spanish and English, I collaborate with other reliable professionals to translate projects into most major world languages. If you’re translating into a language other than Spanish or English, please think of me as a one-stop-shop.
