Climate Change Document — English to Spanish Translation
Jalicia Cox
Project Overview
A client needed a detailed climate change document translated from English to Spanish to reach a broader, Spanish-speaking audience. The document was technical in nature, covering environmental data, policy language, and scientific terminology.
Process
I started by reading through the full document in English to understand the tone, structure, and subject matter before translating a single word. From there, I worked section by section, prioritizing natural phrasing in Spanish over literal word-for-word translation. Technical terms were cross-referenced to ensure accuracy, and the final document was proofread for grammar, flow, and formatting consistency.
Tools Used
Google Docs for drafting, Google Translate as a reference point (not a crutch), Adobe Acrobat for handling the original PDF, and Microsoft Word for the final deliverable.
Result
A polished, natural-sounding Spanish translation that preserved the original document's tone, technical accuracy, and formatting. Ready for distribution without additional editing.
