The awe-inspiring scale and diversity of India’s terrain - See more at:
North East
Northeast India refers to the easternmost region of India consisting of the contiguous Seven Sister States, Sikkim, and parts of North Bengal (districts of Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri, and Koch Bihar). In the far northeast, the Chin Hills and Kachin Hills, deeply forested mountainous regions, separate India from Myanmar. The Bangladesh-India border is defined by the Khasi Hills and Mizo Hills, and the watershed region of the Indo-Gangetic Plain. The Patkai, or Purvanchal, are situated near India's eastern border with Myanmar, made up of the Patkai–Bum, the Garo–Khasi–Jaintia and the Lushai hills. The Garo–Khasi range lies in Meghalaya. Mawsynram, a village near Cherrapunji , located on the windward side of these hills, has the distinction of being the wettest place in the world.

Central
Vindhyachal mountain range defines central India, located as they are almost in the middle part of Indian sub-continent. The mountain range of Vindhyachal extends from the state of Gujarat to Bihar, passing through the central Indian states of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Sonabhadra and Narmada rivers originate from the Vindhyachal, the mountain range that divides India or Bharat into two distinct halves: northern India and peninsular India.

South
India reaches its peninsular tip with South India, which begins with the Deccan in the north and ends with Kanyakumari. The states in South India are Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala. The southeast coast, mirroring the west, also rests snugly beneath a mountain range---the Eastern Ghats, sloping down to the Indian Ocean.

West
The states of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, and part of the massive, central state of Madhya Pradesh constitute Western India. Extending from the Gujarat peninsula down to Goa, the west coast is lined with some of India's best beaches. The land along the coast is typically lush with rainforests. The Western Ghats separate the verdant coast from the Vindhya Mountains and the dry Deccan plateau further inland. Apart from the Arabian Sea, its western border is defined exclusively by Pakistan.

North
Himalayas, the world's highest mountain chain and Nepal as its neighbouring country, dominate India's northern border. Following the sweeping mountains to the northeast, its borders narrow to a small channel that passes between Nepal, Tibet, Bangladesh, and Bhutan, then spreads out again to meet Burma in the "eastern triangle”. North India is the country's largest region begins with Jammu and Kashmir, with terrain varying from arid mountains in the far north to the lake country and forests near Srinagar and Jammu. Moving south along the Indus river, the North becomes flatter and more hospitable, widening into the fertile plains of Punjab to the west and the Himalayan foothills of Uttar Pradesh and the Ganges river valley to the East. Located between these two states is the capital city, Delhi.

East
India is the home of the sacred River Ganges and the majority of Himalayan foothills, East India begins with the states of Bihar, Orissa and West Bengal, which comprise the westernmost part of the region. East India also contains an area known as the eastern triangle, which is entirely distinct. This is the last area of land that extends beyond Bangladesh, culminating in the Naga Hills along the Burmese border.

L'impressionnante diversité des paysages indiens - pour en savoir plus :
Au Nord-Est
Le Nord-Est indien est en réalité la région la plus à l'est de l'Inde, et contient les Seven Sister States (les états de l'Arunachal Pradesh, de l'Assam, de Manipur, du Meghalaya, de Mizoram, du Nagaland et de Tripura), l'état de Sikkim et une partie du nord du Bengale (les districts de Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri et Koch Bihar). Dans la partie la plus à l'est, Chin Hills et Kachin Hills, des régions montagneuses et forestières, séparent l'Inde de la Birmanie. La frontière entre le Bangladesh et l'Inde est formée par les montagnes Khasi et Mizo, ainsi que par la ligne de partage des eaux de la Plaine du Gange. Le massif de Patkai, ou Purvanchal, se trouve près de la frontière est de l'Inde avec la Birmanie. Il est constitué des chaînes montagneuses Patkai-Bum, Garo-Khasi-Jaintia et Lushai. La chaîne de Garo-Khasi se situe dans l'état de Meghalaya. Mawsynram, un village près de Cherrapunji, établi sur le flanc de ces montagnes, se distingue comme étant l'endroit le plus humide du monde.

Au centre
Le centre de l'Inde est défini par la chaîne montagneuse Vindhyachal, cette dernière se situant quasiment au centre du sous-continent indien. Elle s'étend du Gujarat à Bihar, en passant par les états centraux indiens de Madhya Pradesh et Chhattisgarh. Les fleuves Sonabhadra et Narmada trouvent leur source à Vindhyachal, la chaîne de montagne qui sépare l'Inde (ou Bharat en Sanskrit) en deux régions distinctes : l'Inde du nord et l'Inde péninsulaire.

Au Sud
Le sud de l'Inde forme la pointe péninsulaire du sous-continent. Cette dernière part du plateau du Deccan au nord et s'étend jusqu'au district de Kanyakumari au sud. Le sud de l'Inde est constitué des états de Karnataka, d'Andhra Pradesh, de Tamil Nadu et de Kerala. La côte du sud-est reflète celle de l'ouest et repose confortablement sous une chaîne montagneuse : les Ghâts orientaux, qui se dressent jusqu’à l'Océan Indien.

À l'Ouest
L'ouest de l'Inde est constituée des états du Gujarat, de Maharashtra, de Goa, et d'une partie de l'imposant état central de Madhya Pradesh. Depuis la péninsule du Gujarat jusqu'à Goa, la côte ouest aligne certaines des plus belles plages de l’Inde. Tout au long de la côte, on trouve des forêts tropicales en abondance. La chaîne des Ghâts occidentaux sépare les côtes verdoyantes des montagnes de Vindhyachal et du plateau du Deccan plus dans les terres. À part la mer Arabique, seul le Pakistan définie la frontière ouest de l'Inde.

Au Nord
L’Himalaya, la plus grande chaîne de montagne du monde, ainsi que le Népal, pays voisin, dominent la frontière nord de l'Inde. En suivant les montagnes imposantes jusqu'au nord-est, la frontière rétrécit pour finalement n'être constituée que de petits canaux coulant entre le Népal, le Tibet, le Bangladesh et le Bhoutan. Elle devient à nouveau plus imposante en atteignant la Birmanie dans le “triangle est”. Le nord de l'Inde est la plus grosse région du pays. Elle part de l'état de Jammu-et-Cachemire, constitué de territoires variés, allant des montagnes arides dans le nord jusqu'aux lacs et aux forêts près de Srinagar et de Jammu. En suivant le fleuve Indus vers le sud, la région nord s'aplanit et devient alors plus hospitalière. Elle s'étend dans les plaines fertiles du Penjab à l'ouest, jusqu'aux pieds de l’Himalaya dans l'état d’Uttar Pradesh, et à l'est jusqu'à la vallée du Gange. Entre ces deux états se trouve la capitale, Delhi.

À l'Est
L'Inde est le pays qui abrite le fleuve sacré du Gange et la majeure partie de l'Himalaya. L'est de l'Inde part des états de Bihar, d'Orissa et du Bengale de l'Ouest, qui comprend la partie la plus à l'ouest de la région. Elle contient aussi une région appelée le triangle de l’est, bien distincte. Ceci est la dernière partie de l'Inde, qui s'étend au-delà du Bangladesh et dont les montagnes Naga dominent la frontière birmane.

I am graduated with a translation Master degree's at the Université d'Angers, and I established myself as a freelance translator from English to French and/or from Spanish to French. I can also do proofreading and transcription.
Since I established myself as a freelance, I translated technical documentation from French to English for a company in my city in France (the AMS company), and I also translated wedding invitations and web articles about wedding ceremonies from French to English for the Regalb company (Juigné-sur-Loire, France). During my first internship in 2011, I translated the blog of the tourism office of Consuegra (Spain), from Spanish to English. On my first year of Master, I had a class on how to use the Trados software, and I had classes on terminology, and how to create a terminologic database. I also had the opportunity to use Trados during an internship I did in 2014 in an Indian translation company (Alchemy Translation), where I also translated and proofreaded touristic, pharmaceutical and technical documents (for instance the Incredible India website), and did some transcription work too. My universitarian classes also helped me with English and Spanish grammar and culture. During my Master degree, I had the opportunity to translate various types of documentation, from journalistic to literary text, and technical documents. I also did some online subbing on a voluntarian basis.
Therefore, I think that I can be an asset for your company. My rate for a translation work would be 0.08 € per source word. I can translate 2000 to 6000 words per day.
I am also a musician and a cinema lover, that's why I am also interested in the music and cinema fields
