About Translasaurus

Welcome to Translasaurus, the professional brand of Luci Ruas, an independent freelance translator and language specialist. For projects requiring additional language combinations or specialist expertise, I may collaborate with other independent translation professionals.

You’ve found me because you’re caught somewhere between two languages, cultures, and worlds, and you need someone – a real person – to step in and bridge that gap.

How Translasaurus Works

Led by Luci, an experienced English translator based in Loulé, alongside Maria, a skilled Portuguese translator based in Northern Portugal, and with connections to other native-speaking professionals when needed, Translasaurus is here to help with your linguistic needs. From certified translations for use in Portugal and English-speaking countries to making a phone call to sort out your internet, no job is too small when it comes to helping you overcome the language barrier standing in your way.

Translation Services that Change with the Times

AI has changed the global translation market and, while Portugal has been slower on the uptake, the way Translasaurus previously operated has had to shift and evolve with the times. For the past 6+ years, much of our work has involved sitting behind a screen, typing words that are then sent around the world. But 2026 has brought with it a renewed desire for human connection – to step out from behind the screen and connect real people with real people.
