Bio
Hello, I have been working in the translations field for now over 24 years full time, as a translator and as a translations system manager, so I have a very good knowledge of the whole cycle of production of all type of items - Web Site, Subtitles, Voice Over files, InDesign Files, Office Files, etc... from the preparation of the files to the translation and editing, typesetting, proofreading and final quality check! I dealt with all types of files on both functions - thus, most likely I will be able to adapt to your need and provide exactly the translation you need in the format you need. During my 9 years as full time translator in an in-house translation department, I translated over 7 million words, proofread over 10 million words and edited many other Freelance translations. I translated in many fields - Church literature, company catalogs, promotional items such as magazines, posters, fliers, Web sites, voice over scripts, subtitles, finance manual, cleaning manual, IT manual, etc. So, I can translate almost any general subject. I have also a very solid technical background, with a master degree in Mechanical Engineering, and with 10 years working as programmer and system administrator. Thus I have a very good duplication of English and abstract concepts and I am capable of translating them properly to relay the intended message to the reader. Since I started my Freelance activity, over 8 years ago, I got approved as translator by the following agencies and worked for them: Abby, ADT, Between Worlds, ECI, Edimart, Foreign Translations, Fluent Translations, Genese, Global Voice, Idea Translations, Jonckers, Language Scientific, Linearis, LingPerfect, LionBridge Living Words, LocalM, MaxSun, Morning Star, Multilinguo Plus, Omniage, One Global, OSW, Pangeanic, PopTranslation, Probst, Quest, Raffles, RR-Translations, Straker, Techlingua, Traducta, Translate Media, Translia, Translocal, ULGroup, Word Works , etc. Since a few years, I am working only with a few agencies, pleased with services, showing that I am a trustful and reliable translator which delivers excellent products. I also specialized in translating formal and technical litterature in French-Canadian, translating over 6 millions words for various ministries of the Government of Canada (Defence, Environment, Health, etc.) Here are some of the main items and brands I translated: Metrology Device & Software localization NIKON Metrology – Metrology (software localization and help manuals) CREAFORM – Metrology localization MITUTOYO – Inventory listing of high precision metrology machines, devices and parts Mechanical appliance / Automotive BLACK & DECKER, BOSH, MAKITA – Home appliance (over 100 manuals) OMAX – Pumps manuals PSG – Pumps datasheets PEELEDOOR – Freight elevators door and gate manuals GRINDLOD – Locomotives Manuals COMPAIR – Compressor Manual CADILLAC – Brochure and fliers MAGIC MOBILITY – Wheelchair Promotional fliers MOOSE RACING – Motocross Catalog pages ZEECO – Manual for Freejet Gas Burner KIRBY – Vacuum manuals and brochures AGRIFAC – Field sprayers brochure Electronic appliance/devices HUAWEI – Manuals, Specification sheet and Tips for various phones GARRETT – Metal detectors (manuals, web pages) SONOSITE – Ultrasounds medical system (white papers, web pages) ALTIUM – Electronics components and circuit boards (white papers, web pages) DAHUA – Digital Video Record Manuals TOPCON – Topology software localization (over 130k weighted) Heat, Ventilation and Air Conditioning PANASONIC – HVAC unit manuals, software localization REMEHA – HVAC unit manual Aircraft and Airfield ADBSAFEGATE – Airfield lightning (full website and data/product sheets) AIRBUS – Hatting and repair instructions for plane components Software / IT EFI – Promotional fliers on Printing and Publishing equipment (white paper, website, fliers, etc.) ROCKWELL – Controller software manuals SEMANTIX – SuperOffice software localization and user help CASIO – Calculator manual TOPCON – Topology software localization MODIS – Navigation system manual CISCO – Cloud Solution, Networking Water/Waste treatment NEWTERRA – Wastewater Treatment Plant (manuals and training courses) EVOQUA – Water technologies IPEX – Pipe systems brochure/manual Medical Instruments HEMOCUE – In-Vitro Diagnostic System manual RADIFORCE – Determination of white blood cells in blood device manual COCHLEAR – Dental Implant Device manuals for user and surgeon CHEMOTECHNIQUE – Patch test manual THORASIS – Airwave oscillometry manual SONOSITE – Ultrasound devices Web pages Legal NAVEX – Whistleblowing service provider to thousands of big companies throughout the world. Translated thousands of customized Web page describing the Whisleblowing service provided by NAVEX to those companies. Government of Canada (ministries of Defence, Health, Environment, and others) Web pages of Canada.ca, Strategies and Plans, Meeting Minutes, Annual Report, Impact Assessment Reports, etc. I am currently using SDL Trados 2024 and Catalyst and I am familiar with MemoQ, XRTF and other online translation environment. I can translate up to 5000 words per day and I am able to deal with rush traffic, late traffic or weekend traffic. I can translate all kind of files and can adapt the Trados filter or do any special preparation in case you have very complexe files (mixed tagged, unknown file type, etc.). I always build up a very complete terminology database on all projects I am working on. I enjoy translating and working in that field and I am always looking to improve myself, becoming a better translator, but also using all the tools existing to provide you the best service. I can also ensure in case of Office file that the formatting is proper - so you will get a perfect, print-ready file. And I am looking forward to working with you. Best regards, Patrice Philippi
