About me
A reliable translator for your quality translations


I am an English to French (native) freelance professional translator, specialised in Engineering and Business by professional working experience in London, UK. I've however already worked on numerous other fields such as Tourism, Online gaming, Software and Websites localization.

Some of my previous fields/projects (Please refer to my CV for details):
- Technical documentation and websites (propulsion controller system, industrial valves, water treatment, dryer ducts, road construction, safety in in aviation (PowerPoint) and in building construction, technical advertisements and leaflets)
- Business: Technical and commercial proposal, surveys for different industries, events industry website localization
- Electronic equipment user manuals (computer, PSU, display, WiFi docking, surveillance camera, virtual keyboard, inverter...), complete Help files localization
- Travel & tourism documents (properties rental, touristic areas & venues info, 50,000 words post editing for hotels).
- Legal texts (terms and conditions, certificates, pension plan, insurance, company policies),
- Online video game (70,000 words using Transit), Game based learning, and Casinos related documents,
- Software localization mostly in XLS and TXT format (X-Ray device in airport, electricity supply, networking devices, cardiology information system) in technical fields
- and more! I've translated over 450,000 words in the last 12 months

I mainly work with MS Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and CAT tools (Trados, Transit, Catalyst...). I translate on average 3000 words per day through the week. Please contact me for more details.

My background:
I am a French engineer graduated in Industrial System Management in France in 2001.

I have started my career as a translator supported by a strong working experience in Engineering and Business fields, acquired when I was managing international projects in Paris for over 3 years, and then in London for over 4 years. In parallel, I have been travelling extensively these recent years, which is also why Travel & Tourism is also one of my favourite working fields in translation.

I have relocated to Taiwan in 2009 and I now daily live in 3 different languages, English, French and Chinese. I believe that both my international experiences and way of life have been an excellent foundation to working as a professional translator, which made me discovered that I really like working with languages (currently only English and French, but I hope I will include soon Chinese!).
