Welcome!!


Hello, Hallo, Bonjour, Hola. Firstly, as translators and interpreters of the Universidad de Concepción we greet and welcome you to our blog.


We are a group of twelve students from one of the most prestigious universities in Chile who are passionate in learning languages and, on above all, in building bridges to connect people from different backgrounds, nationalities and cultures. Our team of four translators and eight interpreters shares the same passion in the process of learning and using language as a tool to connect with/and others. Among the languages we know are Spanish (our mother language), English, German and French.

On the first hand, the members of Translate-in-Chile are around their twenties; therefore we are a complete new generation of translators and interpreters. This newest generation of professionals are updated and closely linked to technology and social networking. Besides, youth provides another pretty important quality which is highlighted in our team; we are very creative and versatile because of the different preferences each member of this group possesses. Nevertheless, we are a sharp and forward-thinker team. We like chatting and joking about different things without losing efficiency in our work

On the other hand, the task of a translator consists of passing from written text to written text one language to another language. Secondly, what an interpreter does is to pass a speech in a foreign language into another language.

Our goal is not to translate word by word but to express the idea, the essence of a message, to be properly decoded by the audience or readers in each case. As a matter of fact, our teachers have always asked us to produce a final version which cannot be recognised as a translation.

Therefore if you need our services do not hesitate to contact us. There will always be somebody available and capable of assisting you in your needs.
