Silvia Salis

Silvia Salis – Translator

Experienced foreign-language teacher, translator and editor. 14 literary works translated, working on the 15th, and several boardgames!

Overview

Thanks to collaborations with Italian publishing houses, including Fanucci, Edizioni BD and Le plurali for the translation of novels and Asmodee Italia and GateOnGames for the translation of board games, I have worked on many translation projects that have allowed me to improve my skills in particular in the field of literary translation.


As a literary translator, I bring not only linguistic prowess but also a profound passion for preserving the very soul of your narratives by going beyond the mere act of translation.


What will I do?


I will navigate the cultural landscape with an intricate understanding of both the source and target cultures.


I will breathe life into your narratives, safeguard their authenticity, and allow them to resonate on a global scale.


I will preserve the authenticity, quirks and idiosyncrasies of your characters, ensuring the richness isn't lost in translation but vividly shines through.


I will immerse in the emotions embedded in every word and ensure your readers will feel the pulsa of the original text.


Contact me today, and let the enchantment of translation unfold.
