PT-PT localization, translation and publishing consultancy
Two decades of specialist work across two industries that demand the same thing: getting every word exactly right. Whether you're scaling a platform or publishing a story, here's what working with Babellica looks like in practice.
I've worked with global e-commerce and SaaS platforms on end-to-end PT-PT localization, from legal infrastructure to the microcopy a user reads at checkout. This isn't translation layered on top of an existing product; it's localization built into how the product works for Portuguese users.
The full user journey, localized from the very first click to completed purchases.
The paperwork that protects your business and your users localized for Portuguese legal standards.
Visibility in the Portuguese market starts with how Portuguese users actually search.
Your brand voice, adapted; not just translated.
Every tap, click, and error message is part of the user experience.

My relationship with Portuguese publishing spans nearly 20 years, from in-house editorial work at Editorial Presença to active consultancy for Penguin Random House Portugal. I translate as someone who knows the market from the inside.
Children's fiction, YA, and commercial titles translated with narrative care and cultural precision. 15+ published titles in print, and counting…
Final-stage editorial polish for translated manuscripts, original Portuguese content, or marketing copy destined for PT-PT audiences.
Since 2023, I've provided manuscript assessments for Penguin Random House Portugal, evaluating both debut writers and established international titles for acquisition consideration in the Portuguese market.
What sets me apart: My background — having worked as Foreign Rights Assistant at Editorial Presença, engaged within the Dutch children's publishing market (2015–2023), and currently consulting for PRH Portugal — means I can read a manuscript and read the market as well. Translating from English, Spanish, and French has kept me closely attuned to what's breaking through in those markets and why: tracking trends, evaluating commercial momentum, and understanding what makes a title travel.
