Latin to English: The Aeneid, Book 1, lines 1-7
Source text - Latin arma uirumque cano, Troiae qui primus ab oris Italiam fato profugus Laviniaque uenit litora multum ille et terris iactatus et alto ui superum, saeue memorem Iunonis ob iram, multa quoque et bello passus, dum conderet urbem inferretque deos Latio; genus unde Latinum Albanique patres atque altae moenia Romae.	Translation - English I sing of arms and the man, who first from the coasts of Troy, exiled by fate, came to Italy and Lavinian shores, having endured great hardship both on land and at sea on account of wrath from above, resulting from Juno's persistent rage, and having endured much at war in order to found a city and bring his gods to Latium; from where arose the Latin race, the Alban fathers and the walls of lofty Rome.

French to English: Speech by Jean-Marie Le Pen on Immigration and Sovereignty (27/01/2002)
Source text - French L'immigration est en France un sujet tabou. Il est mal vu, voire même poursuivi et condamné, d'en débattre librement et démocratiquement. Une obscurité dûment organisée plane sur les chiffres et les composantes de l'immigration. L'accusation, qui se veut mortelle de xénophboe et de racisme, plane sur la tête de ceux, rares, des hommes politiques ou des chercheurs, qui entendent étudier le phénomène et le juger. La curiosité, moteur de la science, est réputée haineuse. Les dogmes de la Pensée Unique sont tyranniquement imposés sur ce sujet comme sur tant d'autres. C'est pour cette raison que Chirac et Jospin, après Juppé, ont lancé contre nous l'anathème officiel.	Translation - English Immigration is considered taboo in France. To debate it freely and democratically is frowned upon and may even result in prosecution or conviction. The facts and figures on immigration are shrouded in an officially contrived fog. The few - politicians or researchers who wish to study the phenomenon and form a view of it are constantly in danger of being accused of xenophobia and racism. Curiosity, the driving force of knowledge, is, in this context, considered to be hateful. The dogmas of the Pensée Unique are imposed as tyrannically on this subject as they are on so many others. This is why Chirac and Jospin, following on from Juppé, have launched an official anathema against us.

About me

I graduated in 2005 from the University of Edinburgh with a 2:1 MA (Honours) degree in Latin studies. I have extensive experience in the translation of different genres of Latin texts (degree certificates, poetry, legal speeches, comedy, drama, historiography, philosophy - see below for more details). In 2008 I completed an MSc in European Studies and Translation Studies (French-English) at Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh, UK. I have experience in translating a variety of French texts, including literature, directives, treaties, tourism and promotional matierials. I am very conscientious in my work and will provide the high quality translation to satisfy your needs.

The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings.
