French translations adapted to your needs
Translation of Australian legal or personal documents into French
I translate your legal or personal documents into French so that your French contacts, the courts or the administration, can deal with them in French. I need to know how the translation is going to be used (e.g. in a court case, sent to French legal professionals or to the French administration, as a work in progress) to adapt the translation accordingly.
Translation of your Australian web content into French
I translate your content from English into French so that your French audience can understand them, and act on them, more easily. I need to know who will be reading your French content to adapt the translation accordingly.
As Nelson Mandela is quoted to have said:
« If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart. »
This is why I enjoy translating valuable content into French.
You’re writing in French, and you would like your French text copyedited?
I can copyedit the French text you’ve written to make it more engaging and impactful. I need to know who is going to read your French text, in which circumstances, to adapt the revision accordingly.
Who am I?
My name is Caroline Sanders. I am French, and a NAATI-certified professional translator. I have also formally trained as an English-to-French legal translator. And I enjoy making Australian content available in French.
With my Australian husband and our Franco-Australian daughter, we live immersed in two languages and two cultures. This is challenging – and a lot of fun.
