  Freelance Technical Translator | Scientific Translator

  Without language, humanity would not have evolved. But given the challenges we are facing today, we need to be able to communicate with each other effectively more than ever before.This is what drives me in delivering German/French into English translation services - bringing together people, and workforces, with the gift of communication.I primarily work with large industrial manufacturing companies, but my skills can work in any industry, and on any project, that requires translation services.Here are examples of recent projects I have worked on:~ Machine tools, French > English~ Aeronautical engineering (helicopters) French into English~ Medical instruments, French into English~ Software manuals, German into English~ Nuclear power, aspects of engineering and mathematics, from French to English, ~ Planning permission application for the construction of a power station, from French into English~ Technical damage reports for industrial insurance claims in the power production industry~ Technical production line documentation for a large French automobile manufacturer, from French into English~ Technical documentation covering a new cooling system for a well-known German carmaker, from German into English~ Technical documentation for the new “X-by-wire” automobile system for a major French vehicle manufacturer, from French into EnglishTechnical and scientific translation services require not only a rock-solid grasp of language but the ability to thoroughly understand complex ideas and materials as well as to carry out the necessary research to ensure that the appropriate terminology is used.Low-cost translation services cannot do what I do. They represent a risk as any mistake can result in wrong information with catastrophic and costly results.If you need a high-level, 100% accurate translation service that will give you peace of mind that your message will be replicated in plain English, I invite you to get in touch to discuss how I can help.
