Emiliano S. Grill

Biography

Hi! I'm Emiliano. I was born and raised in Uruguay, and I'm a history buff and translator who loves languages, reading, and writing. I became a translator because I love the idea of making knowledge accessible to everyone and connecting people with culture and with other people.

Ever since I found out there were other languages out there, I've been super interested in them: It's crazy how the same thing can be said in so many different ways! I've been "singing along" to songs in different languages since I was a kid, trying to mimic their sounds and figure out what they mean. When I was a teenager, I spent a year abroad as an exchange student, and it was an eye-opening experience that made me think of the possibility of becoming a translator and try to become a sort of bridge between languages. And now, it's what I love to do!

One of my favorite topics to translate about is history, because I'm a huge fan of it. I think that our past can be way more thrilling than any fiction or fantasy world you can make up, and I take immense pleasure in discovering new things about our collective history every day.
