Raffaele B.

My name is Raffaele Bolelli Gallevi and I’m an EN > IT freelance translator with thirteen years of experience in different fields, such as, ITC, consumer electronics, video surveillance, sports apparel and footwear and more. Combining a deep passion for languages and communication with a knack for technology, I’ve acquired a strong proficiency in the use of linguistic tools, especially CAT systems like Trados Studio, MemoQ and others. Thanks to a strong background in typesetting and publishing, I’m also able to follow the entire production of books and other documents from drafts to print. My excellent command of Italian, great attention to details and a meticulous respect of deadlines make my translation work completely reliable, also when working on rush projects. During my career, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with a lot of different international agencies, consistently managing projects for important clients such as adidas and Apple. This also allowed me to cooperate with a lot of different people and professionals from all around the world, working in small and big teams, consolidating my relational skills. I strongly believe in honesty and mutual respect as keys to good working partnerships, and always strive to stay true to these ethical principles. "Translation is that which transforms everything so that nothing changes." Günter Grass
