PROFESSIONAL TRANSLATION SERVICES
What I provide
PROFESSIONAL
TRANSLATION
Attention to detail using my knowledge, skill, and art in translation and copywriting for the most appropriate use of words that conveys your Spanish or French message and suits your intended Anglophile audience and setting.
ACCURATE EDITING & PROOFREADING
Expert service in improving the overall quality of your text by enhancing its flow, readability and structure, prior to reviewing the final draft to ensure consistency and accuracy in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and formatting.
TRANSCREATION & LOCALISATION
Sometimes translation needs to go beyond the words. Transcreation allows for a greater degree of creative freedom with the adaptation of your marketing message. Added to that, localisation effectively considers local context, cultural nuances, linguistic differences and even legal requirements. So, whether your text is in Spanish or French, I can help you to create more impactful copy in English, while maintaining its intent, style, tone and context, so it remains culturally resonant, on brand and on message.

During this time, the translations cannot be erased, and after this time, all electronic copies will be deleted and any hard copies shredded.
Client contact details will be stored securely in a password protected file on a secure and encrypted computer, which only I have access to and will only be used by me to contact you during the translation process and upon completion to deliver the final translation, either electronically or via post.
