About us

How Planet A came about

Planet A is a team of two highly experienced freelance language professionals (we are not an agency). A few years ago we realised that we shared the same personal and professional values and the determination to contribute to a more sustainable and ethical world, so we decided to pool our skills and subject-matter knowledge to support those who share our cause.

Our purpose

In today’s world we face many challenges regarding the social and environmental impact of climate change and human activity. Effective national and cross-border communication is key to addressing these challenges, which is why we provide language support to companies, organisations, institutions and government bodies to help them achieve their communication goals.

Services

Planet A offers the following language services:

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.

Our team

Katrin Nell – German language specialist

I translate from English, French, Spanish and Catalan into my native German, drawing on many years of professional experience and a strong academic foundation: a degree in Translation and Conference Interpreting from Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences (Germany, 2003).

My work centres on materials research, renewable energies, AI and digitalisation, with a natural extension into the technical, environmental and social fields that connect them. Clear communication, linguistic precision and subject-matter insight are at the heart of what I do.

Driven by a personal commitment to climate protection, I practice conscious consumption and waste reduction in both my professional and everyday life. I am also actively involved in creative and social recycling initiatives. 

You can get in touch with me at:

Lisa McCarthy – English language specialist

I translate from Spanish and Catalan into my native English and proofread and edit English texts. My main working areas are corporate sustainability, environment and nature conservation.

I have an MA in Spanish (University College Cork, Ireland) and a Diploma in Translation from the Chartered Institute of Linguists (UK). This is complemented by 17 years’ experience collaborating with different sectors, during which time I have gained invaluable subject-matter expertise.

To keep my skills and knowledge up to date, I regularly attend courses and conferences run by the professional associations of which I’m a member (APTIC, MET, ASETRAD, CIEP), and courses related to my areas of specialisation. When not working, I participate in environmental activities, hike, and read.

Testimonials

Lisa helped us with the English editing of scientific and technical reports in relation to the Habitats Directive, and we couldn’t be happier with her! Highly efficient, friendly, and has the necessary knowledge for understanding very niche concepts in ecology.

- Ana Zuazu Bermejo (ATECMA) - biologist specialising in biodiversity -

Having worked with Lisa on various projects related to sustainability and the environment, I can attest to her professionalism in ensuring that the objectives of each project are achieved successfully. She adapts to any challenges that might arise and meets the delivery deadlines. She is a great professional, efficient and responsible. I recommend her services to anyone who needs a quality translation from Catalan to English.

- Esther Pujades - Catalan and Spanish translator

I entrusted Lisa with translations from Catalan to English (in relation to health and connection with nature) and she immediately became my go-to English translator. She is an excellent professional, follows client instructions, asks the necessary questions to ensure an accurate translation, and always meets the deadlines. Smooth communication, she always responds quickly to queries and efficiently resolves any issues. 100% recommendable.

- Ester Vidal -translator - English, Italian and German to Spanish and Catalan

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!

- Anna Cabó, Consultant, LaGroc -

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.

– Dorothee Rault, state-certified translator –

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.

– Xela Falgueras, Social Media Strategist –

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.

– Valentina Carrara, Ruby Cup –

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.

– José Bassols, Marketing Consultant –

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.

– Oscar Torres, Responsable de Comunicación y Marketing, Orballo –
