Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my posting. My name is Mario Gustavo, and I have lived in the States for the last 30 years. I started doing translations way back in the 80’s when there wasn’t many Spanish people here in Orlando, Fl. Of course after ’85 we had a serious influx of spanish people and my job got even harder, now I had to contend not only with the Spanish from South America (Castellano), but other variations as well. To make a long story short, I have worked as Software trainer, here in the States, and abroad, (what a great job that was). Also, I’ve done technical writing, but all that is in the past tense. And I would like to get back into the swing of things, even if it means relocating. Again, not matter if it is here or abroad.
If anybody has any suggestions, I would be very much obligated.

Again thank you.

I would like to join this group. I am a bilingual therapist for families and bilingual teacher in the state of AZ. I translate materials in my agency and in the schools. I taught medical Spanish for U of AZ in area hospitals under a federal grant 20 years ago as well as translating in AZ courts for World Translation Services. My Spanish is getting rusty now that my husband has learned English! Hi to everyone!

Jesus, I was wondering how you felt about the Cal State Program, I am considering it, or if anyone has any advice, I have a MA in LING/TESL and am working on my MA in Legal Studies, I also have an add on paralegal. I am native english speaker and my spanish is intermediate, I take academic classes each semester. Would like to transfer to a translation program and it seems the CA courts need lots of translators, do you have any advice in this area or have a contact at CA Uni I could speak to about transfer? Muchos gracias

I started translating when I had the oppertunity at medical school on a part time at first. There was a Visiting profesor program where we had differet Doctors and professors of medicine would visit us for a week or two. I would be his translator to the students, and for him I would translate simultaneusly, consecutivly or written. It was a lot of fun and challenging. After that as a professional I was official translator for the state of Baja California. I am looking for good connections, and friends.

Hey ppl. I worked as the Director of the Sapnish Department at the Institutes for the Achievement to Human Potential for 3 years. I still colaborate there when I have the opportunity doing simultaneous interrpretations of the Doman Method Lecture series. I also colaborate with Chester County Judicial County in Pa. I currently work with the Court System as Vocational Instructor for ex-offenders. I established one of this kind of program in the nation. Am working on expanding my translation company to another level, but for now am back in school full time so I have no time to develop anything.
