Bio

ENG>FR MARKETING TRANSLATION, LOCALIZATION AND CONTENT WRITING

I have dual expertise, both in translation and in marketing.

Linguistic and Cultural skills

A native speaker of French, I graduated from the Université La Sorbonne, one of the best universities in France, with a BA in English and Translation, finishing in the top 10% of my class. I have been a full-time translator since 2011 and go to France regularly, continuing to watch French TV and films, read newspapers and fiction, and listen to the radio in French.

Marketing expertise

After my BA, I did an MBA in the States. I then held positions in France and the UK in marketing, sales and at a creative agency, with such blue-chip companies as Unilever, Danone and Samsung. I therefore specialise in marketing and advertising translation and transcreation. It enables me to combine my 2 passions: languages and marketing.
I truly understand what 'brand positioning' and 'tone of voice' actually mean - a lot of people think they do but actually they don't. I have studied marketing and worked in this sector so I know what your clients mean when they mention those deceptively common words in their brief.

Memberships

I am a Member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists (membership number: 026077) and an Associate of the Institute of Translation and Interpreting (membership number: 00011106).

QA

Besides the various TMS (Trados, Smartling) and Word tools, I use Antidote software, as well as TLFI (Trésor de la Langue Française Informatisé). Quality is important for me, and I value all feedback from clients and fellow translators or proofreaders. As such, I have set up a Rrevision club with a fellow translator. We choose a text every month, then compare our translations. 

CPD

Every year, I attend marketing conferences in France (All4customers in Paris in March 2024) and the UK (technology for marketing in September 2024), as well as several trainings organised by the ITI (Institute of Translation and Interpreting) and CIOL (Chartered Institute of linguists), and topped up with some of the excellent workshops run by Magistrad.
