Testimonials

"I know Óscar through the regular translations he does of the news in Brazil for the Spanish newspaper El País. His texts are accurate and stylistically fluid, sounding as if they'd been originally composed in Spanish. In keeping abreast of current affairs in my native Brazil, I often rely on Oscar Curros' prose. He is a talented journalist and translator." Ewandro Magalhães, TED Author | UN Staff | Chief Interpreter, 2015

"Óscar traduce del portugués al español parte de la producción de la edición brasileña del periódico EL PAÍS. Al ser idiomas parecidos acaba siendo muy fácil caer en errores básicos y adoptar palabras en portugués como si fuesen españolas y Óscar es bastante cuidadoso en ese aspecto. Parece una cosa pequeña, pero es casi la más importante. Como periodista, además, se interesa y sensibiliza con los textos que traduce". María Martín, Journalist at EL PAÍS, 2015

"Óscar é um profissional muito envolvido com seu trabalho e um tradutor atencioso. Em tempos de falta de tempo na internet, é de se valorizar e destacar a velocidade com que traduz os textos do português para o espanhol, mesmo os mais longos, e a atenção com que trata os colegas de El País." Rodolfo Borges, Journalist at El Pais, 2015
