La construction d’un pont entre ce port et la route du Caire provoqua la découverte de nouvelles tombes et une fouille d’urgence fut entreprise, permettant le dégagement du’une quarantaine de sépultures collectives. Ces tombes sont à l’origine individuelles, mais les premiers occupants furent vite délogés pour une exploitation systématique des parois, avec l’aménagement de centaines de loculi: dans une seule de ces tombes, nous avons dénombré jusqu’ à 230 niches de 0,70m de côté sur 2m de profondeur destinées à acceuillir chacune un cadaver. La place manquant, on a rouvert les loculi, repoussant les premiers locataires pour y loger de nouveaux arrivants et dans certaines cavités étaient logés jusqu’ à une dizaine de squelettes. | Translation - English
The construction of a bridge between this port and the road to Cairo brought about the discovery of new tombs. An emergency excavation was undertaken, allowing the uncovering of 40 collective sepulchers. These tombs originally held individuals, but the first occupants were quickly dislodged for a systematic quarrying of the walls, with the resulting rearrangement of hundreds of loculi. In just one of these tombs we counted up to 230 niches, each 70cm x 70cm, with a depth of 2m, each destined to receive one cadaver. When there was no more space, the loculi were re-opened and the first occupants were removed in order to accommodate new arrivals. In some openings there were as many as ten skeletons. | | French to English: Chemical Maintenance | Source text - French

I have lived in France and in Spain. I am not only a native speaker of English, I am also assiduous in my use of the language and have an expert eye for grammar.
I have a great deal of experience in quickly learning a new field to write about it and edit papers in the field. In various jobs I learned about long-term nuclear waste storage, Superfund site remediation, biomedical evaluation of the immune system, community medicine, financial aid, Chinese medicine, acupuncture, and archaeology.
My largest translation assignment to date was the bi-monthly conversion of a French archaeology journal. I translated every word from the masthead to the events page. Le Monde du Bible published scholarly articles by researchers and field archaeologists who focused on the southern Mediterranean. It was published by Bayard Presse, SA (Paris), the fifth largest publishing house in France. I knew nothing of archaeology at the time I started, and Bayard was happy with my work. Some articles were emailed to me and others I took directly from the published French issue. The emailed articles generally had a turn-around time of one or two days. Please ask me to email a pdf of the source magazine and my published translations. Length of articles was about 3000 words. A typical issue comprised 33,000 words in English.
The most challenging assignment I've completed was the correction of an English-Spanish translation of a patient survey measuring post-traumatic stress disorder. The survey needed to make sense to Mexican-Americans possessing little formal education. The difficulty was to make the questions simple, but still retain the specificity necessary to the success of the survey. |
