About Us
Gabriela García Mellado
Founder & Principal
Gabby cheerfully leads CIT (formerly Hussong Translations). She specializes in highly skilled, culturally competent language consulting, interpreting, and translation services. Gabby was raised and educated in Baja California, Mexico, Texas, and California, and trained as a Professional Translator & Interpreter at the University of California, San Diego. She is a member of the American Translators Association since 2001 and a disciplined continuing ed enthusiast.
Gabby collaborates directly and as a subcontractor agency with public and private organizations, consultants, and community-based non-profits who find a true asset in her deep understanding of the Latin American and Latinx markets, languages, and cultural diversity. She has earned a solid reputation across industries as an expert partner for all sorts of projects, ranging from simple marketing materials to complex diplomatic trade missions in multiple Latin American countries.
A former teacher passionate about mentoring, Gabby brings the best out of her colleagues and collaborators in the office. While in the field, she is happiest when she plays a key role in breaking down communication barriers and giving a voice to limited English proficient people. This results in their own empower that allows them the opportunity to exercise their fundamental human rights of free will, expression, and decision-making. She can do this because of a training model for community interpreters she co-authored with Artemio Sicilia. You may see their TEDx Tijuana participation here.

CIT has earned a reputation among public and private entities as a solid and dependable partner who uplifts its client’s multicultural and multilingual efforts.
Interpreting
Interpreting is an art form that requires extraordinary cognitive abilities. Interpreting is “verbal translation,” in which an interpreter utters the meaning of what was said in the target language after hearing it once in a source language.
The most common modes of interpreting are simultaneous, performed the time of the exposure to the source language, and consecutive, performed by taking turns with the speaker.
CIT provides remote and in-person interpreting services for 1 or 1000 people.
Translation
CIT follows sophisticated processes to handcraft and represent your ideas within the context of a different language and culture. Translations are effective to the extent you can reach your target audience’s heart and intellect and compel them to act.
Translation: the process of writing words or text from one language into another.
Localization: cultural adaptation. Transmits the meaning of the words in a way that is culturally appropriate and connects with the audience more effectively. It simply goes further than translation, including images and color assessment, layouts, time, and date formats. In other words, localization includes copy and images for a specific audience or market.
Transcreation: a blend of localization and creative writing. It targets the emotions.
