I am vigorous and meticulous in insisting on exact meanings for words, in each language. I also understand that words are, at best, symbols for expression.

I strongly believe that to translate accurately, one needs to master not only the languages and translation techniques but also the subject in both the source and target languages. I am also convinced that to be an efficient translator, one needs to be flexible, be able to work alone or within a constantly moving team and have good organisational skills. My goal when I translate is to release well finished documents or applications that will be easy and pleasant to use. I believe that to translate accurately, one needs to master not only the languages and translation techniques but also the subject in both the source and target languages. Trained as a translator and with over ten years working experience in a very specialized sector, I use both my thecnical background and translation skills to make your texts and applications as French as possible.

My rates are always negotiables, depending on the volume of work. Feel free to contact me for any type of translation, I will be delighted to help you. Have a nice day! Christel

I have been working in companies in Hamburg for the past two years as a student assistant. In the last two jobs I had (one at a statistics company and another at an international cooperation NGO) I have been tasked regularly to translate documents from French to English and from English to French. Additionally, I grew up in the bilingual city of Montréal where these two languages are used interchangeably. I did all my elementary and secondary education in French and all my university (first and second cycles) in English.

I am currently enrolled in a Multilingual Master in Psycho- and Neurolinguistics at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB). I studied French, Latin and English language and literature at the University of Leuven (KU Leuven). I also have studied medicine at the University of Liège (ULiège).
