Carolina Mayda is a certified translator and conference interpreter from Córdoba, Argentina. She has been active in her field since completing her studies in 2002 at the School of Languages of the National University of Córdoba (UNC) – the first university in Latin-America to offer a training program for conference interpreters endorsed by the United Nations.
During her five-year undergraduate course, she completed modules in a wide array of subjects, including Linguistics; Phonetics and Phonology; Grammar; Terminology and Documentation; Linguistic History of English; Culture and Civilization of English speaking societies; Legal, Technical, Medical, Literary, Journalistic and Scientific Translation; and General Interpretation.
Since 2009, Carolina has served as an official translator and interpreter for various national and international organizations throughout several Latin American countries, including Brazil, where she would eventually add Portuguese to her repertoire.
In 2011 she moved to Salvador de Bahia, Brazil, where she continued her career all across the country. She currently lives in Rio de Janeiro.

Over a million words translated
In this type of translation, a text written in language A is read aloud by the interpreter in language B, in a manner in which the content of the document can be easily understood by the audience.
The interpreter waits for the speaker to finish a sentence or an idea, and then renders the speaker’s words in the target language. Carolina received training in note-taking and memory techniques that enables her to render passages of up to five minutes faithfully and accurately.
According to Professor Rainer Schulte, co-founder of ALTA, literary translation bridges the delicate emotional connections between cultures and languages, and furthers the understanding of human beings across national borders.
Audiences of simultaneous interpretation wear headphones while the interpreter renders the speaker’s words into the target language as he or she is speaking.
“We would like to thank and congratulate Carolina Mayda for her efficient work during the 'Escucha Israel' event. Without her cooperation we would have not succeeded in gaining the approval of such an exacting client as this. We hope to have the pleasure of requesting her services again in the near future.”

“When I first met Carolina I could tell right away she was a person of character. Her ability to connect with people and her passion for excellence was evident immediately. It didn’t take long to witness her great ability to translate orally and in writing and with such care and professionalism. While working alongside her during my tenure as the CFO of a major international media ministry, I was always amazed with her ability to adapt so effectively. I watched Carolina as she translated at large scale events before a large crowd and one on one between important officials and also on important projects translating contracts and other complex documents. Whatever task we gave her, she always performed it with poise, confidence and again, with great diligence and professionalism. She is simply the best at what she does.”

“I am writing to express my appreciation and endorsement of Carolina Mayda as a translator and interpreter. My work in media carries me around the world extensively. It has provided me the true pleasure of working with Ms. Mayda on 4 occasions in South America and Mexico. I cannot begin to acknowledge her professionalism and talent with enough gusto. Whether on the stage before 11,000 people at the National Theater in Mexico City or handling simple print translation or a radio interview, Carolina knows just how to handle each of those situations uniquely and perfectly. I would choose no other person to work with me or any North American dignitary or celebrity than Carolina. She is a consummate professional.”
Andrew Freeman | Media Director and Television Producer | CFAN, Orlando, FL.
“Carolina embodies exceptional professionalism, skillful proficiency and unyielding poise in all of her translation and interpretation projects. We initially hired Carolina in 2009 for an extensive project which included: stage interpretation (large audience events), sensitive legal document translation, public relations interpretation, and management of a large team of interpreters in a work intensive and deadline driven environment. As a result of her consistent excellent work, we hired Carolina on many other occasions for her assistance with other international projects. Once you have hired her services, you will never want to work with another professional interpreter or translator!”
