Legal and immigration translation with Graciela Darritchon

You can listen to episode 298 here:

Graciela and I met recently on LinkedIn and, especially as we haven’t discussed the translation of legal and immigration documents on the podcast before, we decided to make an episode together.

Graciela Darritchon is a certified public translator based in Buenos Aires, specialising in immigration, legal and academic documentation. Through her work with high-stakes, formal texts, she brings a real-world perspective on how professionals use English when clarity, tone and cultural awareness truly matter. Her work focuses on helping people communicate accurately and appropriately across systems and cultures, especially in emotionally charged and high-pressure situations.We talked about:

  • Graciela’s story and how she came to be working in her current field of translation
  • Bridging legal systems during major life transitions: communication, empathy and cross-cultural navigation
  • Finding your authentic professional voice in formal contexts: sounding confident and natural while meeting strict legal requirements
  • Graciela’s advice for anyone who is interested in working in this field.
