translation service


All translation tasks, from English and Japanese to French :
translation, localization, proofreading, transcription, subtitling...

Full-time translator since 2006. An ex-engineer and musician, I naturally specialize in these two fields, which specific vocabulary and problems I am fully familiar with.
This dual experience allows me to combine the high standards of scientific integrity with an artistic touch, bringing together the best of both worlds for quick, accurate and quality work.
Indeed, translation is a deeply human activity, bordering on art, but which requires a clear and precise approach. Truly a bridge between two worlds.

Please feel free to contact me for further information, or any question about rates and conditions...
I am at your disposal !
