About us
Our history
Planet A is a Barcelona-based team of two freelance language professionals, each with 16 years’ experience in the field. A few years ago we realised that we shared the same personal and professional values and the determination to work for a more sustainable world, and decided to pool our expertise and subject matter knowledge to support those who share our cause.
Our mission
The global environment is rapidly changing and we face many challenges with respect to the social and environmental impact of climate change. Effective cross-border communication is crucial for addressing these challenges. Our mission, therefore, is to provide companies and organisations with language support that will help them achieve their sustainability goals.
Services
Planet A offers the following language solutions tailored to your needs:
Editing
We make sure that your English text is accurate, flows well and communicates your ideas concisely and effectively. This may involve a certain degree of sentence restructuring to improve coherence, readability and overall style.
Transcreation
We take a creative approach when translating your marketing communications, adapting your content to the specifics of the target culture while preserving your message, tone and style.
Translation
We first analyse your document to determine the core message, text style and terminology. We then transfer the content into the target language keeping these aspects and the intended audience in mind.
Proofreading
We check your material thoroughly for any spelling, grammatical or punctuation errors to ensure that it is ready for sending or publication.

Testimonials
We have worked with other language service providers but Lisa is undoubtedly the best. Excellent attention to detail, even spotting errors in the original texts in Spanish and Catalan, thus helping us to avoid mistakes. She asks questions where necessary, which inspires confidence, and demonstrates great skill in translating different types of texts and styles: studies, social programmes, gender and inclusion policies and website and social media content. I highly recommend her!
I’ve worked with Katrin on a project for the Global Alliance for the Future of Food. It involved case studies, leaflets, guidelines and video content about the role of food systems in Nationally Determined Contributions for climate action. As the content to translate was very specific, it involved a lot of expertise, research and coordination to deliver a high quality and consistent output. Katrin managed the assignment with distinction and demonstrated excellent teamwork skills. It was a pleasure to accomplish this project with Katrin and I would recommend her at any time.
Lisa is a great professional, with excellent commitment and punctuality in meeting deadlines. Working with her is very comfortable and easy and the entire translation process is smoothly managed.
Ruby Cup has worked with Katrin on several translations of blog posts from English to German. The content involved menstrual health, access to safe period products and projects about women empowering women to combat period poverty. We were particularly satisfied with Katrin’s communication and timeliness. She provided a fantastic service and was professional, friendly and reactive.
Lisa always delivers on time and works rigorously and efficiently. Her perfect understanding of Spanish guarantees a professional result in all her translations and she always finds the right tone and language to achieve the desired outcome in any assignment.
We have worked with Lisa on several occasions and are highly satisfied with her work. The style of the texts is very important to us and Lisa always managed to find the right words and expressions to ensure that our brand identity is maintained. For us, she is not only a translator but also a content creator who adds value to our project.
