Professional Translation Services

As you may have seen on other pages of my website, I dedicate most of my time to English to French translations but am also qualified to translate from Dutch and Spanish into French.

You may have landed on my website looking for solutions to your French translation needs and then found yourself wondering where you would have to go next to translate your content into other languages. Do not leave this website as I am sure I have a solution for all your translation needs.

Year after year, I have carefully built up a network of reliable and experienced translators in a variety of languages in which I am more or less fluent (English, Spanish, Dutch, and German).

Working as a French freelance translator can be a solitary career, but I also have plenty of opportunities to travel, meet like-minded people and collaborate with other professional translators. Besides working as a freelance translator, I have also managed numerous projects in several languages, and you can count on my experience in translation project management to take care of your project into all the requested languages, pay attention to details and deliver the caliber of on-time quality translations that you rightly deserve. I have worked with hundreds of translators in my career and can therefore vouch for the work of the select team I can put at your service. I therefore limit the amount of languages offered to English, Italian, Spanish, French, Dutch and German in all directions.

Translation Project Management

Translation management requires skills that not all freelance translators share. Combining a freelance translation career with SEO and translation project management implies juggling with all sorts of tools and communication media (phone, email, Instant Messenger, social networks). In this world, multitasking is king and concentration his queen. Sending a translation quote, translating a small document while providing information to a translator looking for some context are typical daily tasks in a project manager’s life.

Translation Subject Matters

The following examples are concrete projects on which I acted as project manager and/or translator:

• Translation of catalogs and sports websites for the number 2 apparel brand in the world
