Hello and thank you for visiting my profile! I'm a freelance French-English translator from Sheffield, and I specialise in scientific and technical translation. I have a slightly unusual background for a translator - I am qualified to postgraduate level in Applied Physics and Communications Engineering, and I used to be an aerospace systems engineer! But science isn't the whole story with me. I've always loved languages and writing too, and I have nearly ten years of experience living in France and studying in the French education system, which is a pretty good background for a translator. I've been working freelance for over five years and have spent 18 months as an in-house translator. I'm also aware of the value of a formal qualification, however, so I passed the General and Physics modules of the Institute of Linguists Diploma in Translation in January 2010.

With an academic and professional background like mine, specialising in scientific/technical translations was an obvious choice. I have a good grasp of all areas of science, and an exceptional level of familiarity with physics, engineering I.T. and mathematics terminology and concepts. However, I am also happy to translate material from a wide range of other subject areas - literature, social science, politics and more!

With a daily output of 3500-4000 words I provide a fast and reliable service and am equipped with both Trados and Wordfast software packages (though I am happy to translate manually too.) I also do transcriptions, editing and proofreading. As I am keen to continue building my portfolio and take on new clients I offer competitive rates too, so why not get in touch?

Thanks again for reading!
Daisy.
