From English and Spanish into French
Source languages: English and Spanish in their different regional variations (European and American).
In compliance with the International Charter of Translators (Section I, Paragraph 6), I only translate into my mother tongue – French.
My core areas of expertise
Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS): Translating the social sciences requires more than mere linguistic fluency; it demands an academic background capable of guaranteeing conceptual precision. Accordingly, my training as a sociologist enables me to anchor my translation work—and thus my reading of the text—firmly within the theoretical frameworks of the social sciences, capturing the authors’ ideas in all their complexity. Furthermore, through rigorous research and continuous monitoring, I have cultivated a complementary specialization in applied psychology and psychotraumatology (personal development, coaching, top-down and bottom-up trauma therapies, complex PTSD), as well as in ecology and climate change (popular science, planetary boundaries, systemic risks, ecological transition, and resilience).
International organizations and NGOs: In the realm of international solidarity and relations, preserving the integrity of the original message is paramount. Because this represents a fundamental ethical imperative, I am committed to ensuring the accuracy of your communications (such as annual reports and advocacy materials, particularly those addressing the ecological transition and climate challenges), ensuring they retain their full impact and accuracy for your target audiences, partners, and donors.
Cultural institutions and tourism: Crafting a compelling narrative around cultural heritage requires cross-cultural insight and elegant prose. From coffee-table books, definitive travel guides, to showcasing historical landmarks, gastronomy, and high-end hospitality, the primary objective is to engage readers and invite them on a journey from the very first line. For all cultural and tourism content, I therefore deliver meticulous adaptations that do full justice to the unique identity of each location and institution for French-speaking audiences.
However, always eager to expand my expertise into new domains, I excel at conducting swift and reliable terminology research. Consequently, beyond these three core areas, my translation skills span a broad spectrum of related fields:
