With the precision of someone who lives endurance.

About

Not just a translator: an athlete

My name is Giuseppe Gambarini. I've crossed Europe by bike and lived three years in Australia; today I work from Liguria, in Italy, as a freelance technical translator. Cycling, triathlon, swimming, running and the outdoors aren't a subject I study: they're what I live every day.

This first-hand experience makes the difference when translating technical sports content: I know how a derailleur works, what someone buying a bike is looking for, and how Italian cyclists and triathletes really talk.

  • International experience and collaboration with teams
    and companies across several countries.
  • A classical education, behind a keen care for language.
  • Real specialisation in cycling and endurance sports.
  • Terminological care and consistency, with glossaries dedicated to each client.
