About Me
I am a French technical translator looking for new customers and I am available for a lasting collaboration or simply for one-off projects. I spent the last 8 working years between corporate companies as a Full time translator and Part time freelancer as well, mainly focused on the languages and Project Management so that I have now quit due to my willingness to work Full time freelancer in a professionally challenging environment. Widely used to CAT especially TRADOS and Across, I will both be fast and self-demanding over the quality of the end product. Also, since a good translator should always respect the time frames that he/she has agreed with, I will dedicate myself to the completion of the task within the terms agreed between both parties in order to keep you as a partner for long term collaboration.
