French Translation Services
Not all translations are equal. To produce a quality french translation of your documents or copy, I'll need to take into account many factors such as your target audience, the purpose of your text and the sector you work in.

Good to know
Quality check
All my translations are thoroughly proofread.
But if you'd like an extra layer of quality control, I can call upon a trusted colleague to go through the final text.**
Format flexibility
I can work with many file formats, including many web formats, most pdfs and all MS Office files.
Get in touch and let me know what might make your life easier.
Partners
My clients often come to me with terminology concerns, quick content updates, branding questions or certified translations reprints. I don't charge to help them out, it's all part of our collaboration.
Human
I use glossaries and tools to help with consistency and formatting but my french translations are entirely carried out by a human (me!).
I'm not adverse to progress, but my reviews of translations offered by the likes of Deepl or Google Translate have - so far - proven to be far from good enough.
No thanks.
French Localisation
In many client-facing, technical or medical contexts, translating is not enough to achieve the purpose of a document. As a french localisation translator, I have learnt how to adapt technical jargon, tone of voice, local sayings and the target market's expectations.

French Technical Translation
Translating technical documents must start with thorough research and requires both a technical mind and a will to spend hours reading up about a concept or understanding a project.
As a French technical translator, I have worked in sustainability, energy, maritime and civil engineering, boats and the marine sector on the translation of technical reports and drawings, white papers and instruction manuals.
​
​
French Business & Marketing Translation
Business translation is my bread and butter. I have a CIM marketing diploma, I have worked in finance and procurement, and a large proportion of my clients come to me for business and marketing translations such as webpages and blog content, products specifications and datasheets, export paper work, marketing litterature, tender bids, policies and T&Cs, press releases or white papers.
​
​
French Tender Bid Translation
I have helped British and American companies put in tender bids for over 10 years. I can help you make sense of the French paperwork, fill the forms correctly, translate the french contractual documents into English for your own peace of mind and more importantly, translate your bid and supporting documents into formal French to help you stand out.

French Certified Translation
As a qualified translator and member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists, and as a translator listed by the French consulate in London, I can issue certified translations and sworn translations. Get in touch for certified translations of your birth, marriage and death certificates, qualifications or bank statements.
If you're applying for french nationality, let me know and I can send you an english translation of the French forms if you need help understanding them.
​
French Legal Translation
I hold a DPSI Law and a Diploma in Translation. Thanks to a good understanding of the legal systems in France and Britain, I know where to look for equivalences and how to handle differences. Your T&Cs are safe with me, along with your disclaimers, policies, contracts, tender bids, and general correspondence. I can also help you make sense of any french legal documents such as probate or deeds.

French Medical Translation
Prior to my translator's qualifications, I obtained a baccalaureate in social and medical science. I have worked with the NHS and several private compagnies on delivering accurate, confidential and timely translations of patients records or clinical reports. And I can help with the interpreting, too.
​
​
Translation of online courses
Whether you need to have your training resources or webinars translated into French ready for a product launch, or whether you have enrolled a french client into your latest online course, I'll be happy to help you deliver. I can translate the content into French and test it with you to make sure it flows as intended, and I can join as an interpreter to help your training team deliver an online course.
