MY TRANSLATION BACKGROUND

Following on from a four-year B.A. single honours French degree at the University of Leeds, in which both French-English and English-French translation featured heavily, I started an M.A. in Applied Translation Studies at the University of Leeds from October 2006 until August 2007. The extended translation project from the start of June 2007 until the end of August 2007 consisted of translating two 5,000-word texts subject to prior approval. I chose to translate several chapters from a book about the Algerian War of Independence (Histoire de la guerre algérienne - Sylvie Thénault), as well as an article about the period of French cinema called "La Nouvelle Vague" (The New Wave). A 2,000-word translation commentary for each extended translation had to be submitted along with the final extended translations.

Throughout the year-long intensive M.A. degree, I became trained in the use of leading CAT tools such as SDL Trados, Passolo, Déjà Vu, Star Transit, OmegaT and Wordfast. I am now a confident user of Wordfast Classic in my professional freelance career. Before starting out as a freelance translator, I have carried out voluntary translations for organisations such as Cafébabel, PEOI, Global Peacebuilders and Translations for Progress. Upon establishing myself as a professional freelance translator, I have started dedicating some of my spare time to providing translations for Translators without Borders.

In business, I believe in transparency and openness, so my standard business rates are below. Only in exceptional circumstances will I deviate from these fixed rates.
