Brazilian Portuguese review
Grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax, vocabulary, register, fluency and naturalness, with attention to Brazilian usage and the intended audience.
Professional profile
I am a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker and an undergraduate student in Biological Sciences (teacher education degree) at the Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES), with expected completion in 2027.1. I also hold a technical qualification in Fisheries from the Federal Institute of Espírito Santo (IFES).
My professional experience includes reviewing AI-assisted language suggestions and product-related content in Brazilian Portuguese, checking semantic accuracy, terminology, grammar, consistency and naturalness. I have worked in the XTM translation environment and with XML-structured content, following project instructions and glossaries while preserving tags and document structure.
Alongside language QA, I develop and review educational and scientific content. My academic training involves research, technical reading, source checking and the adaptation of specialized information for different audiences. This combination is particularly relevant to proofreading, linguistic QA, localization review, MTPE and science- or education-related content.
Language services and skills
Linguistic quality assurance
Semantic accuracy, terminology, consistency, capitalization, style-guide compliance, error identification and contextual validation.
MTPE and AI-assisted content review
Human review of machine-generated or AI-assisted language suggestions, checking meaning, omissions, additions, awkward phrasing and terminology against source context.
Structured content and tools
XTM translation workflows, XML-aware review, glossary use and careful handling of tags and structured text. Microsoft Word and Excel for review and task organization.
Scientific and educational content
Scientific research, source verification, technical reading, terminology checks, educational writing and adaptation of Biology and health-related concepts for non-specialist audiences.
Editorial judgment
Clarity, coherence, audience-appropriate language, adherence to briefs and the ability to distinguish evidence-based statements from claims that need qualification.
Illustrative linguistic QA sample
This is an original, synthetic example created to show how I assess meaning in AI-assisted translation. It is not taken from a client project or confidential material.
“The product may be available in selected stores.”
The modal verb expresses possibility, not a confirmed availability statement.
“O produto estará disponível em lojas selecionadas.”
The future indicative changes the degree of certainty and turns a possibility into a promise.
Meaning shift · modality
The translation introduces certainty that is absent from the source. This is a semantic accuracy issue, not merely a stylistic preference.
“O produto pode estar disponível em lojas selecionadas.”
This version preserves the uncertainty expressed by “may”. Final wording should still follow the client’s terminology and style guide.
Review dimensions demonstrated: source-to-target meaning, modality, terminology, Brazilian Portuguese naturalness and consistency with project instructions.
