Sophieanne Send email to this person  Availability:  Specialization / Background >I have been a translator/interpreter/bilingual copy editor for 10 years. I work mostly for French, English and bilingual magazines, publishers, translation and communication agencies. My aim is to find the right word, the right tone, in other words the right "flavour" for your text. Actually, the idea is to make sure it doesn't look like a translation at all, but a well written piece. Indeed, who wants to hear "it sounds like a translation"? Mon but, c'est de trouver le mot juste, le ton juste, ou si vous préférez, la "saveur" qui convient à votre texte. L'idée, c'est justement de faire en sorte qu'il tienne plus du texte bien écrit que de la traduction. Le commentaire "on dirait une traduction" n'étant pas des plus flatteurs... This principle applies to all fields: Even technical instruction manuals deserve to be accurate AND pleasant to read in the target language. J'applique ce principe à tous les domaines: même un mode d'emploi technique mérite d'être précis ET agréable à lire dans la langue d'arrivée. I specialize in...
