Source text - English A challenging year
The year now ending saw a completely different weather. A weather which is not very friendly. Indeed, it has been raining cats and dogs for several months. This situation is further unpleasant because we spent hundreds of hours working on a very important project whose deadline is fast approaching. Besides, for the past three days, my computer has been arguing with me, refusing to work. To speed the work, I had to rush to nearest colleagues given that the weather was too bad for me to drive to the office and I was conscious of the fact that that we needed everyone’s hands on deck to get complete the project in time. We made some progress but there are many mountains yet to climb. I must say racing through the day was a marathon run for me, but it is worth the effort. If there is one thing I have learnt after almost two decades in this position, it is that when you are quick to throw the towel, you never learn the value of working hard for success. Moreover, people tend to play your tune in the future when you show them you are ready to dance with them in the first place.
Translation - French Une année de crise
L’année qui s’achève nous a fait connaître une période difficile. Un moment très difficile. En effet, il pleuvait des cordes depuis plusieurs mois. Cette situation est d’autant plus désagréable que nous avons passé des centaines d’heures à travailler sur un projet très important dont l’échéance approche à grands pas. De plus, depuis trois jours, mon ordinateur buggait seulement, refusant de fonctionner. Pour accélérer le travail, j’ai dû me rendre rapidement chez les collègues les plus proches, car la situation était trop précaire pour que je puisse me rendre au bureau en voiture et j’étais conscient du fait que nous avions besoin de travailler en équipe pour terminer le projet à temps. Nous avons fait quelques progrès, mais il reste de nombreux obstacles à surmonter. Je dois reconnaître que courir toute la journée a été un marathon pour moi, mais l’effort en vaut la peine. S’il y a une chose que j’ai apprise après presque deux décennies à ce poste, c’est que lorsqu’on est prêt à jeter l’éponge, on n’apprend jamais la valeur de travailler dur pour réussir. De plus, les gens ont tendance à jouer votre jeu à l’avenir lorsque vous leur montrez que vous êtes prêt à danser avec eux dès le départ.

Source text - French La paix: est-ce l'absence de la guerre?
L'articulation entre la paix et son opposé (conflit, colère, etc.) est une des clés de nombreuses doctrines ou politiques, clé fondamentale bien que généralement non explicite. Elle, il faut le dire, est l'intérêt commun pour le développement qui prend ses racines dans la prospérité. L'économie ne peut être alors définie uniquement selon le principe du bien-être de quelques particuliers, mais de l'ensemble des individus et des sociétés. Et pour cause. La paix entre les nations est l'objectif de nombreux états, hommes et surtout l'organisation onusienne qui œuvre pour la paix, concept qui ne peut être un état permanent. Ceux qui croient l'avoir acquise ainsi démontrent à suffire une véritable incapacité dans leurs esprits à accéder à une intelligence pragmatique. L'Homme de ce fait reste figé sur des théories et des pratiques archaïques et ne peut élever ses compétences, ses capacités à un esprit plus rationnel et plus structure.
Translation - English Peace: is it mean absence of war?
The relationship between peace and its opposite (conflict, anger, etc.) is one of the keys to many doctrines or policies, which is fundamental though not usually explicit. It ought to be said that it is the common interest in development that is rooted in prosperity. Therefore, the economy cannot be defined solely according to the principle of the well-being of a few individuals, but of all individuals and societies. And for a good reason. Peace between nations is the goal of many states, men and especially the UN organisation that works for peace, a concept that cannot be a permanent state. Those who believe they have acquired it in this way demonstrate a real incapacity in their minds to reach a pragmatic intelligence. Hence, Man remains stuck on archaic theories and practices and cannot raise his skills and capacities to a more rational and structural mindset.

A seasoned linguist, I currently operate in the capacity of a Senior Translator, with proficiency in diverse languages such as French, Bambara, Dyula, Maninka/Mandingo, and Fula/Fulani. My foundations in language and translation were solemnly built through rigorous academic pursuits. Specifically, my attainment of a Bachelor's degree in English was complemented with a Master's Degree in Translation, both of which were obtained from the renowned Advanced School of Translator and Interpreter (ASTI). Since commencing my career as a Freelancer in 2018, I have amassed a breadth of experience that continues to shape my professional trajectory.
My expertise has been solicited by an array of prestigious firms. I have had the privilege of rendering my services to existing clientele including but not limited to O-J Languages Hub, Languages Today, Tomedes, MarsTranslation, East Localize, The Translation Gate, Loc-Com, RWS, PoliLingual, Planet Tongue, and Stepes. My relationship with these corporations has only further solidified my capabilities within the translation domain, instilling in me an ability to adapt my techniques to any project that comes my way.
Adeptness in language, keenness for details, and a commitment to delivering quality results without compromising efficiency - these competencies encapsulate who I am as a professional. Undeniably, I am grounded, yet keenly looking forward to future opportunities where I can exploit my skills and contribute to the global language discourse.
Keywords: I have confidence that I am an outstanding candidate for your Translator position and hope that you will contact me soon by telephone or email to arrange an in-person interview. I am sure you will find my portfolio to be an excellent reflection of my skills. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Sincerely, Boureima TAPILY
