Translation

I provide translation services for language services providers, businesses, the public sector and private individuals.  I work from French into British English.

I produce thoughtful, accurate and precise translations to tight deadlines.  Having lived and worked in France for more than 10 years, I have an excellent level of French language.  It is often said that being bilingual doesn’t make someone a good translator, and this is certainly true.  However, my command of the French language and immersion in the country and culture mean that I understand not only the vocabulary but also the cultural references and inferences in your text perfectly.

Since I have been in France, I have always kept in close contact with the UK, both professionally and with family, friends and the media.  Consequently, you can be assured that my English is both up to date and of a high professional standard.

My degree in International Management and French (University of Bath) and more than 10 years experience in multinational companies in France and the UK have led me to specialise in the fields of:

• business and marketing
• travel and tourism
• real estate
• assistance to English speakers in France

I work with Windows Vista, Microsoft Office 2003 Professional and Trados Studio 2009.  All my work is backed up daily, and kept in a secure, off-site location.  I am a member of the Société Française des Traducteurs (French Translators’ Association).

The confidentiality of client information and the high level of service I provide to my customers are of paramount importance to me.
