If you are a crochet/knitting pattern designer, there are compelling reasons to consider translating your patterns into Spanish:

• Multiply Your Income: By publishing your designs in Spanish, you can significantly increase your income. The same design, when presented to a new audience, opens avenues for expanded reach and more sales.
• Broaden Your Audience: Tap into the extensive community of Spanish-speaking crocheters and knitters, reaching a broader demographic and expanding your influence.
• Global Accessibility: Make your patterns accessible to crafters worldwide by offering translations in Spanish. This initiative contributes to building a more inclusive crafting community.
• Diversity and Inclusivity: Cultivate a reputation as a brand that values diversity and inclusivity. Tailoring your designs for a multicultural audience showcases your commitment to embracing various crafting communities.
• Enhance Customer Satisfaction: Demonstrate your dedication to customer satisfaction by providing translated patterns. This not only opens up new possibilities but also ensures a more enjoyable crafting experience for Spanish-speaking customers.

To make the quotation you can send the document to me in PDF, Word or Google Docs, but to make the translation the document must be in Word or Google Docs format. If you use any other format, you can consult me and maybe we can make an agreement.

You must always send me pictures and links to tutorials if you have used them, I must understand the pattern well so that the result would be the best.

I am not responsible for the layout, when translating from one language to another the texts and words are often out of order, and it is not part of the translation process, to keep the pattern looking neat and tidy. Although I will try to make it look as good as possible, I am not responsible for the layout, that would be another service with an extra cost.

The time it takes me to translate depends on how much work I have. When I give you a quotation and you agree, I will give you an approximate deadline for completion of the work, usually no more than 7 working days. It is important that we keep a good communication, in case I need to clarify something, otherwise it could delay the work.

The translation or subtitling service includes the translation and then a final revision or proofreading. When it is ready, I then proceed to send you the translated document or pattern.

When you have it revised and ready to publish, you can send it to me for a final reading at no additional cost.

The cost of the translation depends on the number of words to be translated. The translation cost from English into Spanish is 0.05 eur per word. But the final cost takes into account other aspects such as the complexity of the pattern, that’s why you should send me a copy for a no compromise quotation. 

The translation of a pattern will have a minimum cost of 35 eur.

In the case of proofreading, the cost will be 25 eur per hour. The time it takes depends on the number of errors and the complexity and length of the translation.

The payment is made half upon acceptance of the quotation and the other half upon delivery of the assignment. You can pay via PayPal or with credit card. Just tell me how you prefer and I will give you more details.

I also translate Pattern Listings into Spanish. This way, when you publish your pattern on platforms like Ravelry or Etsy you can also put the description in Spanish and reach more customers, it is an essential step.

When translating your pattern, I use the terms that you prefer, depending on your objectives. This is something we discussed before starting the translation, but I can do it using either Spain or Latin American terms, depending on your choice.

Yes, in addition to being a professional translator, I am a Tech Editor of crochet and knitting patterns. I offer services of Proofreading, pattern layout, translation of knitting or crochet related articles and video subtitling.

For more details and cost of these services, contact me and I’ll tell you more.

All you have to do is send me the document in the correct format and with images, be aware in case I need to clarify anything and proceed with the payment at the end of the assignment.
