More Than Translation: A Bridge Between Worlds
The story behind Bertoni Translations
Our Story
From Struggle to Purpose
In 2005, I arrived in London with courage, faith, and a diploma in my hand. But that diploma—earned through years of dedication in Brazil—wasn't recognized here.
Overnight, I went from being a teacher to cleaning houses and waiting tables. I swallowed my pride, but I never swallowed defeat. Deep inside, I knew this was temporary. I had a purpose waiting to unfold.
Years of perseverance led to blessings beyond what I'd imagined: two European passports that opened doors, a loving family that became my foundation, a true home in England, and finally—the opportunity to validate my qualifications and pursue my calling.
God's timing transformed my struggle into strength. Today, I hold a Master's degree in Scientific, Technical, and Medical Translation from University College London, alongside professional certifications from both ABRATES (Brazil) and the Institute of Translation & Interpreting (UK).
But more importantly, I've transformed that struggle into purpose.
Today, I don't just translate words. I translate dreams.
Every Brazilian or Italian who arrives in the UK carrying hopes for a better future, clutching important documents they can't navigate alone—I see my younger self. Every diploma that needs validation, every birth certificate that marks a new beginning, every consular form that feels impossibly complex—these aren't just papers to me. They're pieces of people's lives, their aspirations, their futures.
Bertoni Translations was born from this understanding: that behind every document is a human story. That what you need isn't just technical accuracy (though that's guaranteed)—you need someone who truly understands your journey because they've walked it themselves.
Credibility
At Bertoni Translations, professional recognition matters. We are proud to be listed as a certified translator at the Italian Consulates in London, Manchester, and Edinburgh — a testament to the trust placed in us by Italian authorities across the UK. This recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to accuracy, reliability, and linguistic excellence since day one.
