Your expert
I am an experienced British translator providing a specialised French-to-English translation service in politics, law and economics. Precision and intelligibility are my guiding principles.
I hail from the United Kingdom, but I have been settled in France since 2010. Back in England, I obtained a bachelor's degree in French and a master's degree in translation. I also took a course in English writing techniques through a British journalism school to hone my writing skills. And in France, I took a short training course in legal translation as part of my specialisation.
Your needs
'What is conceived well is expressed clearly'
Nicolas Boileau (1636–1711)
Getting your political, legal or economic texts translated is, by its nature, a delicate undertaking: the slightest mistake can prove costly. To ensure that such texts are translated reliably, it is vital to call upon the human expertise of a professional translator. Only a translator who specialises in your field can grasp the concepts in your texts with a view to rendering them accurately and intelligibly.
A specialist translator is not just a linguist, but a true consultant. As a specialist, I regularly study politics, law and economics to produce translations that are reliable and intelligible. Furthermore, a specialist translator must have polished writing skills in their target language so that they can convey complex concepts clearly. Through my background and career, I have developed an effective writing style in English.
