Maria | Bari, Italy

As does her home office, which is filled with vintage decor. "Sometimes when I work, I like to listen to classical music," she said with a smile. "It's inspiring to me. But I also like rock music and Brit pop, but not so much when I'm working."

One of Maria's favorite things about Smartling technology is the visual context feature, which allows her to see exactly what she's translating in real time. She finds the client-specific style guides to be very helpful as well.
