Hi, I'm Robert!

I'm originally from Switzerland 🇨🇭, I served as Treasurer for the Carolina Association of Translators and Interpreters (CATI), was a member of the board for the Swiss Association of Charlotte, and I've been involved with Freelance translation for over a decade, both as a translator as well as an agency.

I've been a featured speaker at ATA-sponsored events, ProZ.com's Annual conference, as well as the New Zealand Society of Translators and Interpreters Annual Conference.

I started off working in banking in Switzerland, and then I received a Master’s degree (M.P.A.) from Cornell University in Finance. After this, however, I set out to build a career as a Freelance Translator and gradually set up my own Translation Agency, Lugano Translations.

“The best translators course I've experienced so far. Although, I'm not a novice translator, I already can see that this course would have been an immense support when I had started out. As a professional translator I've learned a lot of those "tiny" details that make the big picture, ones that I've been missing while learning all by myself. Really useful links, useful hints and tips.”

Alex Smirnow

“Thanks to Robert's program,  I was able to seamlessly jump from an in-house translator position to a freelance translator career geographically free. Shortly after signing up with him, I got my 1st English to French translation task. 1900 EUR for 12 days work. Guillaume Petit - https://www.proz.com/translator/3483889”

Guillaume Petit

“I feel more confident now with all of these tools. It is hard to start doing something you feel capable for without any guidance. Thanks for this course!”

Mariana Perez Diaz

“Thanks, Robert. I am following all of your advice and it seems like they work faster than I thought. I have got a client who ask me to translate this website into French, a non-profit organization that needs me to translate a survey, and a few people who reached out to me for diverse reasons”

Stephan Dasse

“I've been trying to become a professional translator for a while, but I didn't know where to start. Now, I feel like I have a chance competing with other professionals and actually make a living out of it. Robert, thank you so much for putting this course together, it is an amazing work!”

Angela Roveda

“Robert's course is just what the doctor ordered! ...  First-rate course, and I recommend it unhesitatingly for both novice and non-novice (I just made that word up!) alike.”

Daniel Steve Villarreal

“"It was exactly what I was looking for because before the course I had a lot of information but no idea of how to get it organized. I feel more confident now. Muchas gracias. :D"”

Soledad Ortiz Cejas

“Hi Robert, thank you for this great course! I had never found so much useful information in a single online resource. I'm starting out as a translator and interpreter, I'll definitely put many of your tips into practice! :)”

Francesca Mazzanti

“I have studied translation and worked on it at a firm in the past, but have stopped translating professionally for another job. Since translation is my real passion, I am trying to figure out a way to start translating again. Learning some the tricks of the trade of doing it as a freelancer is just what I need right now. I believe this course is a great tool to help me start translating again at a professional capacity.”
