Translation
French to English & Spanish to English
Translations with a human touch
As a professional translator, I translate from French or Spanish into English. My experience, qualifications, and passion for languages and bringing people together puts me in a great position to help you or your organisation overcome language barriers and connect meaningfully with your audience.
By working with me directly, we can quickly resolve any questions or queries, agree on reasonable working timelines and rates, and make sure that your texts are translated to hit the sweet spot with your readers.
How can I help you?
Text Translation
Do you have French or Spanish texts that you would like translated into naturally-sounding English which resonates with your audience?
Is your museum looking to translate its exhibitions into English for a British English or global audience?
Do you have official documents in French and Spanish, such as birth or marriage certificates that you need translating into English?
As a qualified translator and experienced linguist, I can help you with all this and more.

Subtitling & Captions
Subtitles are more than just a transcription in another language, they should take your viewers on the same journey you intended for your French or Spanish audience.
Yes, you can use automated subtitles, but wouldn't it be great if your viewers could read accurately written subtitles which are well timed and just the right length so that they can focus on the images too?
As more and more people are watching subtitled video content nowadays, getting it right can help you stand out from the crowd.
With training in subtitling from Bristol University, I can provide you with high-quality, translated subtitles for your French or Spanish video. I can also create captions for your English audiovisual content, or review your current captions and suggest any modifications that would really make your work memorable to an English speaking audience.
Proofreading & Editing
If you have documents you have written or have had translated in English that you would like reviewed by an experienced linguist, I can help you.
Drawing on my background in linguistics, translation, and language education and examining, I can review your documents for spelling or grammatical errors, punctuation errors, the general tone of your text and its overall cohesion and coherence, and make sure it hits the sweet spot with your readers.
