Littera - Traductores Online is Xevi Solé, Scheherezade Surià and Pablo Álvarez.
Xevi Solé:
Perhaps it was being the grandson of a librarian that gave him his early love of reading. With a degree in Translation and Interpretation (Pompeu Fabra University, 1994-1998), followed by postgraduate studies in Audiovisual Translation (the Institute of Translators and Interpreters, Strasbourg, 1999), since that time he has worked as a freelance translator. He is a generalist translator, with a skill set that covers many different specialities and has extensive experience in working on a wide range of different text types.
Over the years he has collaborated with a number of agencies in the translation of aeronautical (EUROCOPTER), medical (Satelec), commercial, legal, advertising and technical architectural texts.
He has worked for the Academy of Medical Sciences and the Faculty of Medicine of Barcelona University.
He has worked for the COAC (Architects Association of Catalonia) and the Mies van der Rohe Foundation.
He is currently working for Catalan television (TV3), specifically on the translation of sports programs and contracts.
Throughout the 14 years of his professional career he has translated 50 books for a series of different publishers.
Scheherezade Surià:
A literary translator, and language enthusiast from a very early age, she took a degree in Translation and Interpretation (Pompeu Fabra University, 2000-2004), followed by a post graduate course in Literary Translation (IDEC-Pompeu Fabra University, 2004-2005) along with a Masters in Audiovisual Translation (Autonomous University of Barcelona, 2010-2011). Her extensive experience thus far has been centred on permanent collaborations with a series of different agencies and publishers. She has a broad-based knowledge of specialised literary and audiovisual translation from English into Spanish and Catalan.
In the seven years that she has been working as a translator she has translated over twenty books, covering a wide range of subjects (romantic fiction, children’s books, essays) and has also subtitled dozens of films, such as Madagascar, Shrek, Kung Fu Panda or Puss in Boots. She also took part in the dubbing work for the series The Good Guys as well as working on audio-description for blind people.
In love with her work, and immensely passionate about the different branches of translation, Scheherezade also has her own blog, En la luna de Babel, where she shows off her versatility, accompanied by an insatiable curiosity with regard to the many and varying aspects of language and its translation.
Pablo Álvarez Ellacuria
Born in Barcelona, he studied Translation and Interpretation (Pompeu Fabra University, 1993-1999) before moving to Germany, where he combined work as a professional translator with his studies in Conference Interpretation, at the Johannes-Gutenberg-University of Mainz, where he subsequently worked as a teacher for three years.
He also holds a European Masters in Conference Interpretation, from La Laguna University. He is currently resident once more in Barcelona and, professionally, he alternates work on the translation of art and literary texts with linguistic translation services, correction and revision for a wide range of Spanish and international companies.
