Different services for different needs

Translation is about communication. Translating your message or a document into French is taking care of your French audience: you give them the opportunity to read your message in their native language, smoothing out the reading process, and making sure they don’t misunderstand nuances without realising it.

Nelson Mandela 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.” 

Translation for publication from English to French

When you have a message to share, a story to tell, you want it to go to the heart of your audience. Then it’s worth getting it professionally translated. 

Certified translations from English to French

When you need a visa, want to study, or buy a property in France, the French administration or your contacts may require certified translations of personal documents, contracts, or diplomas for example. This is also the case for family law documents involving French nationals. And of course for documents used in a court case.

Translation of Australian legal documents to French

Not all legal translations need to be certified though, it depends on their use. Contracts, privacy policies, general terms and conditions, rarely need to be certified.

Translation for information English <> French

When you just want to understand the content of a French text, when you don’t master the language well enough, then you may need translation for information services. In this case, translation for information from French into English.

I also offer translation for information services from English into French. This is useful when you want to discuss a text, a document, with your French contacts, and you prefer to send it in French to avoid misunderstandings. It’s not going to be published (neither on the web nor in print), and it doesn’t have any marketing value nor legal consequences. A translation for information is enough then.

French proofreading, copy-editing and tutoring

And if you write in French, but would like your copy to be proofread or even copy-edited, there is a service just for you. You do the writing, I’ll do the proofing.

If you’re studying French on the other hand, and want to improve your written French, there is a service for you too! When you work on your written French and you’re not aware of your mistakes, it may be difficult to improve. More information here.
