Bio

I am a fully bilingual translator with 35 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE in translations. Born in France, I am native in French and near-native in English. Mostly self-taught as a translator, but well-read and well-informed, I have studied, lived and worked in France for decades, in the United Kingdom for some 21 years, and I also studied and stayed in the USA for about one year.

I have personally translated around 8 MILLION WORDS. My French and English translations have very often been reviewed by other professionals, and have been praised for their technical accuracy, for their use of correct terminology as well as for their natural, flowing style. 

I am familiar with and can translate into Canadian French as well as into French from France. I regularly translate English into French as well as French into English, both with ease and naturalness. I have worked for a good number of translation agencies in various countries, as well as for a few direct customers. 

Early on, my insatiable curiosity for technologies was matched only by an equally strong desire to learn languages, which is why I ended up with background studies in both electrical engineering and Latin (not to mention English, French, Spanish, etc.). Ultimately, this curiosity is what has led me to explore so many diverse technical specialist fields in the course of my long career as a translator, rather than concentrating on just a few. 

In addition to being a translator, I am also an expert and a trainer in localisation engineering (SDL Trados Studio) and desktop publishing software (InDesign, etc.), an amateur web developer and a cryptocurrencies enthusiast.
