39.4% of California’s population is Hispanic or Latino*. How do you plan to connect with them?
Have you ever thought that you could be losing over 15 million potential clients JUST because you are not speaking Spanish?
It is not about the product or a service, it’s not about what you offer, it is all about HOW you offer it.
As a native Spanish speaker and California resident for more than six years, I know exactly
how to bring the Hispanic market to you.
Hello and welcome to my site!
I am Maria Labaca. Having lived in California for more than six years, I have realized that Cali’s culture, codes and language are simply… unique. As a specialized translator, transcreator, and editor, I have learned how to manage its peculiarities by heart.
I am here to help you grow your business by bridging the linguistic gap with your potential Hispanic audience. As a translator specialized in localization and marketing, I will make sure readers not only get to know your brand but also feel it.
I have extensive experience in the wellness, lifestyle, and nutrition industries. However, my curiosity and research skills can be easily adapted to any other market.
This is how we can work together
English to Spanish Translations
I translate texts, such as papers and articles, while taking style, essence, meaning, and the reader into account.
DTP
Design
I create print-ready, high-resolution, translated material. Send me your beautifully designed piece and I will reproduce it in the translation.
Book Scouting and Translation
I determine which books in your industry are worth acquiring the rights to introduce into the Hispanic market – and I can translate them as well.
Critical Reading & Proofreading
I fact-check texts for language content and consistency. Send me your written piece (in English or Spanish) and I will make sure it is linguistically and factually correct.
Localization and Transcreation of Marketing Material
My Spanish translations speak to your Hispanic audience in a culturally meaningful way so you can sell your products or services to this vast and growing community.
Instagram
Translation
I translate Instagram posts and the Spanish questions and comments left by your Hispanic audience. Watch your engagement grow exponentially with dual-language posts, but don’t take my word for it! You can see samples of my work on "The Glucose Goddess."
