Summary

I’m Jose Antonio Vergel Segura, a Spanish translator specializing in audiovisual translation, video game localization, and media accessibility. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Translation and Interpreting (English and French into Spanish), as well as two specialized Master's degrees in Audiovisual Translation and Video Game Localization. Throughout my academic and professional journey, I've worked as a subtitler for major Spanish TV networks including RTVE, Mediaset, Canal Sur, and Canal Extremadura. I’ve also collaborated with organizations such as ADCOME, translating official communications and supporting marketing and podcast initiatives. In addition to in-house experience, I’ve taken part in freelance projects focused on website and app localization, graphic asset adaptation, and full-cycle linguistic quality assurance (LQA). I’m proficient in industry-standard CAT tools like SDL Trados, MemoQ, Phrase, and JIRA, and comfortable working under time and space constraints, particularly in subtitling and accessibility workflows. Passionate about languages, storytelling, and digital media, I strive to deliver clear, accurate, and culturally adapted content that resonates with audiences and meets professional standards.
