Let's build bridges between Australia and France
Caroline SandersFrench translator • South Australia
Who am I?
I’m French, and a NAATI-certified professional translator.
I have been living in South Australia for over 20 years,
with my Australian husband and our Franco-Australian daughter.
I work with:
- people and businesses who want to connect professionally with their French audience – who want to share their message, their story, their website content – which I translate or copyedit;
- legal practitioners, delivering the professional French translations they need, certified if needed, within the time frame we have agreed on;
- individuals who need certified translations in French.
To help my clients connect professionally with their French audience,
I combine
- my professional skills,
- with my experience living with two languages and cultures,
to translate documents or content into French.
What I can help you with:
Translating into French
- content that you want to share with your French audience;
- legal or personal documents needed to advance a project or an action.
Do you need help with your French translations?
Building bridges
I like to think of translations as virtual bridges between Australia and France,
- helping Australian small businesses and professionals better connect with their French audience, and
- helping people who need certified French translations advance their projects.
I’m happy to customise my services to meet your goals. Let’s talk about it.

I enjoy
spending time with my family, practising yoga, walking among trees or on the beach, reading (from novels to books on translation, entrepreneurship, sustainability, transpersonal development), listening to podcasts, exploring new interests, keeping abreast with what is happening in France and in the world, exploring my creativity, reading, writing and working in cafes – and simply appreciating life.
You can find me on Instagram @caroline.sanders.translator. I mainly publish about my life as a French translator living in Australia, with two languages and two cultures. And also about what triggers my interest, what I like or dislike, what I discover or remember.
Travelling to France
I do love to go back to France. Taking in the environment, the language, the atmosphere, and reconnecting with my roots.
I visit family, friends, and places I cherish, of course. I also check new shops, raid my favourite bookshops. Savour a French croissant with a coffee, make the most of the French food I love. Open my eyes and my ears. And just walk in the streets taking in my home country – and the golden light in the South of France.
