I PUT YOUR IDEAS INTO WORDS TAILORED THE ITALIAN WAY
I’m a professional wordsmith working
with Polish, Italian, and English.
ABOUT ME
I’m Malgorzata Potrzyszcz and I’ve been helping Italian brands promote their products and services in the ‘Made in Italy’ industry for over 10 years, expressing their qualities in words tailored to their target audiences.
If you choose to work with me, you’ll get a no-middlemen approach and a partnership-based relationship in return. You can be sure that the success of your projects is as important to me as it is to you. No matter your industry – be it fashion, foods, or automotive – your content deserves to get its message across in Polish too!
TRANSLATION AND TRANSCREATION
The language pairs I work with are: Italian → Polish, English → Polish, and Polish → Italian.
MARKETING TRANSLATIONS
AND TRANSCREATION
Without flawless execution, even the best of projects can remain just an idea on paper. The same goes for your marketing campaigns. If you want to be sure that your ideas and brand values aren’t lost in translation so they can be understood abroad exactly as you mean them, let an expert handle the language side of things!
My fields of expertise include fashion, luxury products, and Italian foodstuffs.
Just some of the content I have translated: newsletters, online product descriptions, social media advertising campaigns, brochures, and blog posts – including for SEO purposes.
TECHNICAL
TRANSLATIONS
Not only am I proficient in specialist terminology and industry-specific jargon as well as highly competent in the use of CAT tools, but I’m no stranger to technical standards and EU directives. I’m a perfectionist at heart. I’m familiar with the fundamentals of technical writing, and the words ‘InDesign desktop publishing’ don’t send me running.
My fields of expertise include the food and packaging industry, textiles, OH&S, and IT.
Just some of the content I have translated: user’s manuals, installation and maintenance guides, safety data sheets, maintenance plans, tests and reports, bid documents.
