I wish I could Nov 9, 2018

Most of my work is protected by NDAs, so no possibility of keeping a portfolio with them.

I mention my major clients in my CV and professional profiles.
I mention my major projects in the project areas of my professional profiles (when provided).
This does not breach any NDA clauses, and it's an unquestionable right we have.

I can't because what I translate is covered by NDA
Those works which can form a portfolio are available in bookstores (just a couple).

Sort of Nov 10, 2018

My website has examples of some magazine articles that I translated and links to books in the public domain. The site also has links to articles I've written in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

It hasn't been updated in many years. The developer no longer has the software.
