Sworn and legal
English/Spanish translations
My name is María del Mar Castellano Sonera and I am a linguist and a sworn translator. My native language is Spanish.
I am a graduate in Translation and Interpreting from the University of Granada in Spain. I expanded my education with an MA in Linguistics at San Jose State University, CA, USA, which I carried out in the framework of a Fulbright Scholarship. I also hold an MA in English Language and Literature from the University of Granada, Spain. In the field of translation, I am focused on the English-Spanish language combination, although I also provide services proof-reading and editing of texts in Spanish.
In 2009 I was appointed by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a certified translator (“traductor jurado” in Spanish, or sworn translator), which enables me to produce sworn and certified translations, with full legal validity.

Sample sworn documents
I cannot recommend Maria more highly. She is highly professional. The quality of her work is outstanding. Her attention to detail and communication are far above average. It is difficult to find more words of high praise. Use her - you will be very pleased.
Maria was recommended by a friend of mine and she's translated a number of documents for me from my birth certificate to college transcripts to my FBI background check and all of my Apostilles and I've always been satisfied with her work. Maria has always been professional and timely and I look forward to using her services the next time I need translations.- I am recommending Maria del Mar Castellano Sonera for her translation services. I asked Maria to perform various translations for me for legal documents relating to my family's estate in Spain, including several complex translations including a Universal Power of Attorney as well as various Trust documents and Apostilles from the State of California. During this effort, I found it very easy to work with her and the quality of the translations, including technical legal language and terminology, was excellent. She is very responsive and the timing of her translations was fast relative to other translation services which I engaged. Her pricing is reasonable and she was accommodating in my request to have documentation forwarded to my counsel in Spain. I would recommend Maria's services without reservation. Should I ever need additional translation services again, I would use Maria again without looking for other translation services.
