Bio
My name is Maria Elena Abbate and I live in Ferrara, Italy.

I took my Degree in FOREIGN LANGUAGES AND LITERATURES (French and English) at the University of Bologna in 2001. Title of my thesis in French literature: "La città ne Les hommes de bonne volonté di Jules Romains" ("The city in Les hommes de bonne volonté by Jules Romains"). I've been studying foreign languages for about 24 years now.

Some years ago, I became interested in the numerous facets of the world of translation. I translated some texts for companies and for private clients, (about yoga, tourism, classical music...), then I decided to get more specialized.

In January 2013, I've obtained a Master's Degree in Scientific and Technical Translation from English into Italian, organized by the universities of Pisa, Genova, Bari and Consorzio ICON. My thesis was about RESEARCH ON RENEWABLE ENERGY.

My fields of specialization are ENVIRONMENT - ENERGY and LAW. I've translated Internet sites about photovoltaic panels, a presentation about a solar optimizer, notices, summons, contracts.

I often translate TOURISM AND TRAVEL texts (campings, art cities, hotels, seaside resorts) from French into Italian and from Italian into French for a web design company.

I also have experience in translating texts about COATINGS, PAINTS, VARNISHES AND PLASTERS. I easily have access to expert advice in this field.

I've attended several webinars and seminars about legal english and SDL Trados, with Infotrad (Forlì) and STL (Pisa). Some examples: "Laboratorio di traduzione degli atti processuali civili e penali inglese-italiano" (March 2013) and "Tradurre i documenti legali verso l'inglese", both with Arianna Grasso (February 2014); "Corso sulla traduzione legale" and "Traduzione tecnico-scientifica: tecniche e tips" on Proz.com.

My hobbies and interests are: art, craft, fancy jewelry, virtual worlds (Second Life), cooking, visiting parks and places of natural and historical value. I occasionally write for italian internet sites and online magazines on a voluntary basis.
