Sofia Milan Traduzioni
Translation is that which transforms everything so that nothing changes.
- Günter Grass

Let me introduce myself...

My name is Sofia Milan and I am a freelance translator specializing in cosmetics, IT, marketing, Culture & Entertainment, and in website Localization.
After completing my Master's Degree in Translation, I worked for about a year and a half in a cosmetics company. Among other tasks, I was in charge of translating the website and advertising campaign.

In January 2023, I decided to start my career as a freelancer and expand my skills and specializations.
In order to keep me up to date with the latest trends and to continue my training as a professional translator, I attend courses and events of the industry, as well as international trade fairs in the fields in which I specialize.

I consider myself a curious, precise, reliable and detailed-minded person. I always observe the changes in society and the world around me with interest, in order to keep up with the times and to be able to connect people with each other.

My languages

I mainly translate from German and English into Italian. However, my university studies involved other foreign languages, such as Arabic and French, giving me a broader linguistic background and a deeper understanding of different language structures, cultural nuances, and translation challenges. This diverse experience enhances my ability to approach texts with flexibility and accuracy, ensuring high-quality results across various fields.
