Testimonials

Working with Simon means guaranteed quality and peace of mind when it comes to our communication in English. We know he'll send us conscientious translations aimed at our potential readers depending on the area we're dealing with each time. He comes highly recommended!

For us, Simon’s more than a translator; he’s a creative able to communicate in
different languages. This ability means ideas can be expressed without the
language factor changing their essence, and it enriches projects at the same time.
Flexibility, knowledge of good food, and sensitivity to language are
three more qualities of Simon’s I would highlight. We want to keep working with
him for a good many years and we thank him for the support he gives us in our
work.

We worked with Simon to translate some song lyrics and explanations. A lot of them had poetic, symbolic content difficult to put into English. We're really excited about the results and we feel that he has been able to put across the idea we wanted with his translations. He's worked with various languages, including Catalan, Spanish and Ladino. He's a great professional, sensitive to the subtleties of language, and a good communicator. If we need his services in the future, we won't hesitate to contact him.

Simon is always precise and fast. He has translated texts for the programmes of opera, concerts and flamenco and the result is fantastic, especially because he always meets deadlines and is available for urgent translations. It is a pleasure to collaborate with him.

Excellent work delivered on time: that's Simon's hallmark. We like working with him because he's available whenever possible, he loves what he does and the result is always impeccable. He translates the project, but he also checks that the text is properly structured and that the references and content are correct. He also thinks about the final result with a careful revision process. He rounds all that off by being friendly and good to work with.

We are a research group, made up of Italian and Spanish scholars in the field of Humanities (History, Philology, Art History). We got in touch with Simon Berrill to translate an academic book into English from Spanish, with essays from different disciplines, and the results were excellent. Thus we also entrusted Simon with the translation of our second book, and we are really satisfied with the rapidity and the accuracy of his work, and with his willingness to give precise answers to every question we had.

We’ve been working with Simon for some time now. We are a company involved in producing and selling wine and we need constantly need translations of our technical material. All the documents are translated with the greatest speed and efficiency and with a good command of the exclusive language of the world of wine. Seeing a job so well done gives us confidence and peace of mind. For us, Simon is undoubtedly a great professional.

We've been working with Simon for just over a year. We're a company offering active tourism and he's done lots of translations for us from the beginning, including the website and brochures, as well as answering one-off linguistic queries.
We're delighted with his speed, efficiency and professionalism. We won't hesitate to continue working with him.

The Catalunya-La Pedrera has been working with Simon Berrill's translation service for some time now. Most of the jobs are translations we do for the English websites of our facilities. Right from the beginning we hve been very happy with this professional relationship, which has never let us down. SJB Translations offers a fast, effective, careful service at a competitive price.

I have been sending translation and correction work to Simon Berrill for more than ten years and I can say that he is a quality, efficient, fast and very professional translator.

During that time, he has worked on institutional, management and administrative texts related to the university and also on research publications in various fields, such as business administration and marketing, history, communication science, etc.

I particularly value the fact that he responds quickly to offers of work, which makes it much easier to organise the work as translation and correction project manager. He is also always willing to clear up queries or consider alternatives that I suggest as a fellow translator and corrector.

Throughout his work for the Catalan Pyrenees Regional Natural Park, Simon Berrill has shown us that he has the capacity to successfully complete a project as important as this one, involving two UNESCO world heritage listed sites. He has shown overall vision, ability to react and real cultural, academic and heritage thoroughness as part of an action involving multiple partners. His ability to react, autonomy and flexible working have resulted in a quality translation job. As well as these competences, Mr. Berrill has the essential technical and academic virtues and qualities to support the planning and implementation of a series of international signs taking account of the concerns and requirements of a UNESCO site. All his experience, together with his education, make Simon Berrill a creative translator, whose technical ability and knowledge have been real assets for my work and for the success of this project.

As well as what they're about, books have to transmit emotions. A good translation has to be able to maintain that emotion in another language and that's not always easy. Simon Berrill has been working with Cossetània Edicions for some time and the books on tourism which he translates into English help put across the city's exciting cultural heritage to its visitors.

We have been working with Simon Berrill for more than ten years. His professionalism is beyond any doubt. He delivers on time, is impeccable in both translations and corrections and is particularly outstanding in tackling highly technical projects with the greatest care. He is one of the best English translators in Spain. A guarantee of good results.

Simon is a highly professional translator who I can recommend unreservedly. I've worked with him several times, always with exceptional results. He has also shown himelf to be a person capable of adapting to the demands of projects, even when they change at short notice.

At Angle we can’t imagine a book with texts in English that aren’t translated by Simon, particularly the dozen official Barça football books we have published, always with his tight, exciting, perfect translations.

We started working with Simon for the translations of a magazine that was published in 2007 and we have carried on doing things together ever since. He now does all the translations of programmes and publications for our live music venues in Barcelona. We work to tight deadlines and I have to say that working with Simon is very fluid because he makes everything easy. He’s flexible, quick and very professional. Whenever I send him a job he gives a delivery date and he’s never been late, quite the contrary.

Simon is one of the freelances we have been working with regularly for more than two years for translations and revisions in English. We’re delighted with his professionalism: he’s careful, delivers on time and adapts to the requirements of each project we assign him.

Fantastic translator specialising in wine. Very fast service.
