English to French translator with 20+ years of experience in IT, technology and technical localisation

Over 20 years in localisation – time flies! – have given me extensive experience translating and adapting technical, software and marketing content from English into French.

I started my career as an in-house translator with Aldus (now Adobe) and Berlitz (Xerox), before becoming a freelance translator. Since then, I have worked on a wide range of projects covering IT, computer hardware and software, the Internet, electronics and digital technologies.

My technical background includes:

• Hardware and software
• IT and computing
• Office applications and productivity tools
• Telecommunications and networking
• Image editing, DTP and graphics
• CAT tools and translation technology
• Windows and UNIX/Linux environments
• Consumer electronics and connected devices
• Video games

I have worked on a wide range of projects, including for companies such as Macromedia, Microsoft, Adobe, Xerox and HP/Dell.

I also have experience translating marketing, and promotional content, such as B2B emails, and brochures.

I lived in the UK for 20 years, where I also worked as a teacher of French as a foreign language. I have spent time in Canada and am now based on the French Atlantic coast.

My approach is solution-oriented: I combine linguistic expertise and technical knowledge to deliver French content that meets the specific requirements of each project.
