TRANSLATION

translation

A near-native French speaker, I’ve spent considerable time living in francophone countries to bring insider linguistic and cultural knowledge to your source text. English-to-English translation?? It’s a “thing”. Originally from the US and now based in the UK, I help companies localize (localise!) their message across the Pond, whether it’s cultural or colloquial, cars or crucial finance—or just simply knowing your trousers from your “pants”.
