Services

Translation

English–Brazilian Portuguese translation with a natural flow and close attention to meaning and context, not just words.

We work with different kinds of texts — from business and academic content to marketing and more creative materials — always adapting the language to who will actually read it.

Proofreading

Proofreading adds distance when familiarity begins to hide small issues.

After a while, certain details stop standing out at all.
A final read brings them back into view before delivery.

Subtitling

Subtitles developed with the understanding that language on screen shapes how a video is experienced.

Natural language and technical constraints are balanced so the text supports the content while remaining clear, necessary, and largely unnoticed.

Transcription

Speech carries hesitation, emphasis, and intention long before it becomes text. Transcription pays attention to those elements, deciding what needs to remain and what can be left out.

The result is a written record that reflects how something was said, not just what was said.

About

Palys Translation is a partnership formed by Brazilian Portuguese native speakers and teachers with academic training in the English language.

Our work takes place at the intersection of language, interpretation, and textual responsibility.

Rather than treating texts as neutral vehicles of meaning, we engage with them as situated forms of communication.

This perspective allows us to move between written and audiovisual content without changing our criteria for linguistic decision-making.

We collaborate with clients who value precision, critical reading, and professional language work, and who understand translation as a practice defined by careful, methodical judgment rather than by formula.
