Fondo Atamarie

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Atamarie comes from Maorí and means «good morning». My goal is to make your message shine just as brightly in Spanish as it does in its source language. Plus, I'm a bit of a book geek when it comes to Sarah Lark and Maori and New Zealand culture.

No. I do not use AI in my translation, copyediting, proofreading, or any other derivative work (including consultations, content editing, email correspondence, etc.). If you would like to read more about the ethical and moral values I align myself with, you can consult the ATRAE Manifesto for Human Translation: https://traduccionhumana.com/manifiesto/

It's very straightforward. Drop me a line through the contact section, specifying the type of text, the total word count, and your desired delivery date. If you can attach a short sample of the text, I’ll be able to provide a much more tailored and accurate rate.

My DMs are always open! My standard response time is 24 to 48 hours, but I usually get back to you much sooner.

Of course! I understand that entrusting your work to someone new is a significant step. For large-scale projects, I offer a complimentary sample translation (up to 600 words) so you can determine if my style aligns with your vision.

Absolutely! In fact, it's one of my specialties. I handle these texts with the utmost sensitivity and absolute respect for terminology and identity.

My working language combinations are English and German into Spanish. If you require other language pairs, I would be happy to recommend trusted colleagues.

I don't have a single flat rate, as every project varies depending on its technical complexity, format, and urgency. I typically quote on a per-word basis for translation and a per-thousand-character basis (including spaces) for proofreading and editing.

It depends on the volume, but as a rule of thumb, I translate around 2,000 to 2,500 words per day to ensure optimum quality. The final proofreading and review processes also require dedicated time.

It depends on my current availability, but I always try to accommodate unexpected requests. Please note that rush projects may incur a surcharge for overnight or weekend work.

Ideally, we should work with editable formats such as .doc, .docx, or .odt. If you only have a PDF, just let me know, and we’ll figure out the best way to process it without losing the original layout.

Yes, my translations always include a thorough, self-conducted quality control review. I also offer standalone copyediting, proofreading, and stylistic editing services for pre-written texts.
