MARIA ANTONINA JASZCZUROWSKA

I paint pictures with words, telling stories that build a path from my clients to their audience.

Writer, transcreator, literary and sworn translator. English and Polish.

Precision. I am a sworn English–Polish translator (Polish Ministry of Justice), a Chartered Linguist and a member of the ITI. I have translated legal, financial and technical documents since 2011. Every text is fact-checked before it reaches the client.

Craft. I have translated more than 120 books, from narrative non-fiction to Marvel comics, and my translation of Misha Glenny’s McMafia was nominated for the Kapuściński Award. Campaigns for Louis Vuitton, Nike and Tommy Hilfiger speak Polish as if they had been written in Poland.

System. Since 2017 I have led the Polish localisation team at Jellyfish. I plan and edit content for search engines and AI search, always with a human editor in the loop. I also designed, wrote and launched my own detective game, Pocket Mystery.

ABOUT ME

I paint pictures with words, and I make sure the picture is also exact.

For over twenty years I have done one thing across many fields: making a text sound as if it had been written in Polish or English in the first place. I have translated narrative non-fiction, crime fiction, comics and Alan Rickman’s diaries, as well as contracts and the internal documents of an international car maker, where I worked in-house for six and a half years. Today I lead a localisation team for global brands, plan content for search, and teach writers how to use AI without losing quality.

When I am not writing, I ride, as the photo shows. Sometimes the two worlds meet: my blog has the story of translating an album of horse portraits.

    Maria Jaszczurowska is the perfect translator. We suspect her texts must be prepared by a whole team of people, because it’s quite impossible for a single person to provide such a high quality of service within such short deadlines. Nevertheless, we are not inclined to recommend her services, because once you learn about her incredible skill, we will lose a great translator. Therefore we suggest you look for someone else 😊
