About me

Welcome to my freelancer profile. I am a professional translator from France specialized in technical and scientific subjects, with an expertise in physics and optics (PhD, University of Paris 11).

I live and work in Istanbul and use Turkish on a daily basis both professionally and at home.
I translate from Turkish and English into French (my mother tongue), and from Turkish to English in collaboration with an external proofreader at no additional cost for the client.
I use CAT tools for all my translation projects (OmegaT, Wordfast or SDL Trados).
