United States

If you are searching for a book translator USA based, this tag gathers translators working in the United States. The work here runs from Spanish and Portuguese into American English, with the spelling, idiom and rhythm that implies. It is a small group, and the two names below show what the tag covers.

Esther Allen and Rafa Lombardino both work from Spanish and Portuguese into English, and both are based in the United States. That pairing is what separates this tag from the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada: the source languages are the literatures of the Americas, and the English they produce is American. Allen has translated Spanish-language fiction and essays; Lombardino works with Brazilian Portuguese. Readers who want a Latin American novel or a Brazilian book in English, rather than a British rendering, start here.
