About Trotta Translations
Hi! I'm Kelsey Trotta, the owner of Trotta Translations. I'm an award-nominated Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Italian to American English translator/interpreter. With over a decade of experience, I specialize in assisting immigrant clients from the Brazilian community, attorneys, and foreign businesses by translating vital records, immigration documents, marketing materials, and contracts. Leveraging 10+ years of experience as a language service provider and cultural broker in the culinary, marketing, legal, hospitality, and media sectors, I create and implement individualized strategies based on the company's goals and pain points. By providing tailored language and cultural brokering services and strategies, I help companies maximize their language service ROI, sometimes even doubling a company's revenue after just one week of working together. Each strategy is designed for each client to achieve their goals of expanding into the American market, fostering long-term relationships with existing clients, onboarding international talent, and increasing their client base and revenue.
​
My prior clients include Google, The New York Times, Fendi, A-list celebrities, the InterContinental Hotel Lyon - Hôtel-Dieu, and the Center for Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law at Stanford University. Previously, my interview translations have been featured in National Geographic docu-series, NPR, The Guardian, UNICEF videos, the Milk Street TV episode, "Modern Bistro Classics," EU-funded workshops interviewing members of the Guardia di Finanza and the Corte di Cassazione. My localized and translated script of “FAVELA vs. COVID,” a multimedia comic interview by Outrider Magazine discussing favela leadership and COVID-19 response initiatives contributed to the piece becoming a 2021 One World Media Finalist and 2021 Sigma Award Nominee. Furthermore, I have translated a variety of United Nations documents on sustainability and electoral reform as well as academic journal articles for prestigious universities on three continents.
​
My previous localization clients include five-star international hotel chains, Babbel, Workana, the largest freelance platform in Latin America, digital entertainment firms, travel blogs, telecommunications firms, chefs, non-profit organizations, cosmetic companies, and HR firms. Finally, I translated Dario Gioè's novel Journey to the Center of a Millennial.
​
Among my previous interpretation clients are the Direction de la Police Judiciaire Brigade Criminelle, government officials, immigration, criminal defense, and family law firms, market research firms, USCIS green card interviewees, and award-winning journalists. I am also a licensed wedding officiant in the State of Illinois and can perform bilingual ceremonies.
​
I hold a B.A. in Spanish from University of Michigan, spent an extended period of time working in Brazil, and received training at the Alliance Française in Paris, Strasbourg, and Chicago, the Dante Alighieri Society of Michigan, and the Scuola Palazzo Malvisi in Ravenna.
