Judy Jenner runs Twin Translations, a boutique translation and interpretation business, with her business partner and twin sister Dagy, who lives in Vienna, Austria.

Judy is a federally certified Spanish court interpreter and highly experienced legal, business and e-commerce translator for Spanish and German. She was born in Austria, grew up in Mexico City and has lived in Las Vegas for more than 20 years (and she’s the opposite of a showgirl).

Judy is a spokesperson for the American Translators Association and a frequent keynote speaker at conferences around the world.

She tweets up a storm at @language_news, is a relentless industry advocate, and trains the next generation of linguists as an adjunct instructor at the University of California-San Diego and at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Judy spends a lot of time on airplanes but has not yet figured out how to get over jetlag.
