Translation services
SOURCE TEXT, TARGETED PUBLIC, CLIENTS AND DEADLINES:
ALL REQUIREMENTS MET
Available for all translation services, as well as proofreading and/or revision, on any format (paper or digital) and for all kinds of documents: books, e-books, websites, booklets, brochures, reports, records, theses or dissertations, etc.
Translation, linguistic revision and proofreading
All my translations undergo a three-step quality assurance process: translation, linguistic revision, and final proofreading.
Clients may therefore request revision and/or proofreading of a translation they already have.
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.

Layout and typographic finishing
If the client wishes, the layout and document format of the final translation may perfectly mirror that of the file provided. The client may also wish to provide a style sheet to be applied to the translation.
Each translation also undergoes a systematic review to ensure an impeccable finish. Consequently, I place a high priority on typographic conformity, particularly regarding the verification of non-breaking spaces.
This standard is coupled with a thorough check of syntax and grammatical agreement, complemented by a focus on stylistic harmony designed to eliminate repetitions, pleonasms, and residual anglicisms and hispanisms for an optimal reading experience.
The finished product: a text in its context
Throughout the translation process, I keep in mind who the translation is aimed at, and in particular the defining features of its prospective readers. Every term I use is weighed and the language register used in the source text is retained (or modified if the client so desires). I deliver fluid French prose that sounds natural and is adapted to its intended use (book, article, website, advertisement, internal document, etc.)
