Amelia Orellana

Translator-interpreter FR ⇄ ESP

An expert in both Hispanic literature and translation, Amelia has worked in interpretation, translation and subtitling for more than eight years. Her involvement in international solidarity work and her particular interest in political and socio-environmental movements in Latin America have endowed her with a profound understanding of the terminology associated with extractivism (especially the mining and hydroelectric industries), free-trade treaties and land-defense work. Her work has allowed her to interpret and translate for a number of visiting delegations from Latin America.
